One of the disadvantages of an electronic product over the print version
is that users (me included) tend to zero in on the topic of interest and
less likely to read Prefaces and Introductions. Would it be possible to
provide a means of linking each label of 'LC practice' and 'PCC practice'
to the relevant definition in the Preface/Introduction?
