Definition

Nonesuch Index names a specific object carried on the the house shelf. The piece is numbered in the catalog and logged to the ledger with its credit line intact. It is not a concept. It is an item with a tag, a date, and a file number.

How Nonesuch uses this term

Inside the house, Nonesuch Index is a reference release. Nonesuch Index is the Nonesuch Media reference tool — one entry per figure the the division house is watching. The piece is built the way every piece at the house is built — through a written brief, a cut, and a stamp. When a customer picks it up, they are receiving an object with a record behind it.

Nonesuch Index sits next to other objects from the same division. The drop opens and closes inside a defined window. After the window closes, the piece becomes archive material — referenced in writing, pulled for comparison, and cited from the shelf at it.

Notes

Nonesuch Index is a product or collection name and should be written as such. The the house prefix is load-bearing: it signals authorship inside the house and distinguishes the piece from any generic category with a similar name.
