Depends. It’s not that hard. Start with a common list of what STAIRS called
“stop words” that are never indexed: and, or, I, etc. (there should be
lists of these around) Then run the text and see what’s left. You can
probably get away with two more passes or so, eliminating more words each
time. If you want to list the PRIMARY occurrence first, instead of the
first one, that’s going to take a lot more work. There are probably
programs available, so all you have to do is plug in words to omit/index.
I’m not sure but that most word processors have an index function.

Having done some indexing I can tell you that will get you an
index-like thing, but not one that will make readers happy. I suppose
that with e-books the bulk of junk entries doesn't matter so much but
of course they are usually searchable so who needs a mechanical index?

I think I mentioned that when I moved I got rid of probably mote than 25
boxes (no real count) - donated, gave away, or “sold” (more a token sale,
$20 for two or three boxes) i just kept most of my computer stuff. If I’m
buying a computer book, yes, I want a dead tree. If it’s just a novel for a
quick read an eBook is fine - cheaper to begin with and nothing to get rid
of after.

People are different here ... some of the novels I own are among the
things I'd run back into the fire to save.  Like the works of Fritz
Leiber and Edgar Pangborn, and Gunnel Vallquist's Proust translation,
and Bertil Malmborg's translation of "Auf den Marmorklippen" ...  Most
of it is long out of print, and doesn't exist as eBooks.

These days, I mostly reread books I already own.

I'm still waffling over the 30 boxes of books out in the repurposed
shipping container behind the barn.  For the time being, I have room
to keep them and no pressing need for the space they take up.  My
old dream of a wood panelled library (with library ladder) has been
overcome by the convenience of my Kobo reader.

You'd be surprised, I think, as to the number of older books that
have been scanned and converted to epub/mobi formats.

See alt.binaries.e-book  for examples.

That’s why I was saving them, but I found I wasn’t rereading that much. I
still hated to get rid of them. Downsizing is a bitch. I’d have had to to
rent another storage unit for them.

Almost forgot my several Van Vogt books. Many of the ones I bought
back then cost me 95 cents to a dollar and 25 cents. Paperbacks.

Those were sf paperbacks I mentioned earlier. I bought 10 cent comics,
then when they went to 12 cents most of us had to cut back. When the
comics went to 25 cents, I stopped all together.

And Bazooka Joe comics with my bubble gum.

Around 1981, I went to a comic shop. Standard was a dollar for a
monthly. I remember when an annual Spiderman or Superman was a dollar
and twenty-five cents.

Would have answered sooner, but Hurricane Zeta took out electricity
all over my area.

Second hand, I get them here for maybe 3--5 dollars.  Many second-hand
book stores have a SF bookshelf, and much of it is US paperbacks from
the 1940s to 1970s, for some reason.  Or much of it /used/ to be: it's
gotten harder to find something interesting over the past 20 years.

Then there's book stores via Amazon: you can usually find whatever you
want there.

I'm impressed by the quality of old paperbacks.  The paper itself is
more or less brown -- the color of the pulp ghost in Fritz Leiber's
"Our Lady of Darkness" -- but the pages almost never fall out.  They
do in 1980s paperbacks.

I don't see that I have anything from Del Rey Books ... but I see on
Wikipedia that they started in the late 1970s.

I have a bookcase full of 50's books, even some 40's and from a
relative, 1930s comicks. Most will fall apart if I try to read them. 
I have a Whole Earth Catalogue from back then.

I have Analog (and its predecessors) going back to 1943...in a continuous 
run apart from a short gap about ten years ago.

I had a nearly complete set going back to the last few issues of
Astounding. Found out literally no one wanted them, and now a lot of old
pulps are available online.

My Whoe Earth Catalog is mouldering in a corner of the basement where
it landed during the flood.  If I try to remove it it's going to fall
apart and I don't have the heart to destroy the remains.  Maybe I
should bury it with a monument or something.

Still have my (the last) Whole Earth Catalog from around 1974. Never
built anything from it, but was more of an inspiration by that time.
The great optimism of the 60's made real. The Limits to Growth, Club
of Rome report around the same time, most of which never became true
and far too pessimistic, but the title Club of Rome, said it all.

Much compromise since, but the core values persist to this day for
many...

It turned me on to Bosch tools.  First tool I bought when I got my
first real job was a Bosch jigsaw and compared to what I was used to
it was everything they said it was.  40 years later it finally
died--part wore out and wasn't available from Bosch US.  I found it on
Bosch UK but they wouldn't ship it to me, so I got another one.  And
you know what, the old one was less convenient but it worked better.
