Amazon.com Review
A unique, hilarious take on the modern world
Jessica Hagy is a different kind of thinker. She has an astonishing talent for visualizing relationships, capturing in pictures what is difficult for most of us to express in words.
At indexed.blogspot.com, she posts charts, graphs, and Venn diagrams drawn on index cards that reveal in a simple and intuitive way the large and small truths of modern life.
Praised throughout the blogosphere as "brilliant," "incredibly creative," and "comic genius," Jessica turns her incisive, deadpan sense of humor on everything from office politics to relationships to religion.
With new material along with some of Jessica's greatest hits, this utterly unique book will thrill readers who demand humor that makes them both laugh and think. An Exclusive Indexed Card from Jessica Hagy

 funny and visual Book, 2008-09-30
Maybe cute & cool. Jessica Hagy makes fun with her drawings. Lateral thinking, maybe a different perspective, sometimes genial and smart, sometimes not so good. The book maybe will not change your life, but it will you smile for a dozen of times.

Over-Priced, Under-Whelming BUT Entirely Acceptable, 2008-09-27
This is a niche book for people with time, money, and curiosity about unconventional visualization simplified. Although it is overpriced (probably cost $1 to actually produce), there are no page numbers, and half the diagrams are quasi annoying (e.g ground chuck chart with cannibals on one axis and clumsy butchers on the other), there is just enough here to leave me okay with having paid for this to be sent to me.
A handful of the charts are clever and another handful are inspiring. That is what took this tiny little book from three to four stars.
The booklet is completely lacking in structure, another reason it almost dropped to a three. This was a fast print job with zero editorial brilliance. A brilliant editor would have divided the book into a matrix, sorted the sketches in relation to human, technical, global, local, whatever, and then presented them with a table of contents and pagination.
The author's website is provided on the back cover of the book (and I provide it in the comment), it may be that this was the sole intent of the book, to draw people there, in which case the book succeeds and with my comment below you don't have to buy it to achieve the book's purpose.

Fun, but too short, 2008-08-22
I've been following Jessica Hagy through her blog for over a year now and I was incredibly excited when her book came out. This is a collection of some of her published notecards as well as a few which were never published. This is definitely a collection of some of her best, that will make you laugh and make you think.
If there was anything that I wish, it would be that there are more note cards. The book is for too short with most cards that I'd already seen. I'd definitely recommend it for someone who hasn't read her postcards before, or is simply interested in have a few random ones around.

Cute, but ...., 2008-08-04
With Indexed you get as advertised . . . short, nerdy and oddly attractive; but if you skip it you will not miss it.

 Limited, 2008-07-10
This is a great little idea -- key word little. It does not stretch to fill a whole book. Moderately entertaining, a few thought-provoking ideas. In my opinion, not worth this many pages.
