Hello,
I'm looking at my copy of CF-AN and noticed that Volume 10 (Bibliography, General Index, Annotated Index of Authors and Works) is missing!
Am I missing something, here?

Yes, it's missing. I can see that some of the missing contents like the index of subjects and the index of texts are made obsolete by Accordance's search abilities - much faster and probably more accurate - but Accordance cannot completely replace it. The printed index makes searching by "meta" information possible, even if the text to be searched doesn't contain the exact word/words. For example, on p.212 under the "World" entry, you can actually look up "theory of planetary and heavenly spheres, 275", a search that cannot be matched by Accordance.
Also, the Annotated Index and the 2 appendices have value that cannot be reproduced with Accordance search.
To be fair, Accordance product page says it contains 9 volumes. However, a little clearer description would be helpful as to why vol.10 is not included, and if / when vol.10 will be included.
