   have been great. I hear Parry  Tov are working on a revised one- or
   two volume version - they may have supplied an index when that comes
   out.
 
  Doesn't Garcia-Martinez' study edition have them arranged in numerical
  order?

 Absolutely. That's one of the few points where it may have an advantage
 over DSSR. On the other hand there may be numerous advantages (e.g. when
 teaching) to having all texts of a specific class in the same place. The
 last volume of DSSR has an index that tells you in what volume to find a
 given Q number - but not on what page, so after that you have to go browse
 through the contents page of that volume. Still it's a wonderful edition,
 and my bickering is quite unfair :-)

It sounds as though someone started work on the index but never finished it??  
and somehow it went to press anyway.  At least I would hope that was the 
case.  If someone actually conceived and planned this index to be that way, 
that person needs to go stand in a corner for an hour!

Even so, the edition does sound useful.  The biggest obstacle for me is the 
price, a typical problem I have with books from Brill.  Since I don't have an 
institution to back me, book funds come out of my own meager resources.  So 
it will likely be a LONG time before I can get my hands on these..

I have the paperback Garcia Martinez because it was given to me by a friend 
who accidentally ordered two copies.  I tend to agree about the binding, but 
the price was right :-)

  It IS indeed a lot of money (but actually less than the hardback
  Martnez/Tigchelaar, I think), but as I mentioned, they're working on a
  one- or two-volume version, so let's hope that those of us who talk a
  library into getting the six-volume one are helping finance a cheaper
  variety for you :-)
