This Suffix review goes on hold while moving to Sovereign Piece-type Values for now. Gilman's material would be more accessible as 30 CVs not 300. Charles won't do the way Ralph Betza clearly repeatedly did, singling out one CV, Different Armies, from among his particular 150 cv write-ups.  Any good designer can add one more quality cv but how to get more selective for play, in consideraton to all? Fortunately Gilman's knowledge of CVs surpasses or equals all the experts Paulowich, Jorg Knappen, myself, Doug Chathan, Christine Bagley-Jones, several others. 
The field is become important enough that these summaries can be refined, and Gilman is already doing some winnowing himself. It looks like Man & Beasts xxs, including this index, will be more significant than any one, two, or three Gilman CVs.  M&Bxxs being unbeatable in completeness and their turgidity is alleviated by all the new indexes or glossaries. In both CV and reference, all along mixing themes with the rules-sets and definitions and nomenclature (itself a theme) makes Gilman's work difficult ''reads.'' At once they are full of information unavailable elsewhere and inaccessible to but a few with inclination or time.
In process, if hypothetically given the chance, which individual CV would Charles like to see played by Nakamura, Carlsen, and Anand? Expect he still will not even address such commmonsense question, whereas Ralph would answer immediately:  Chess Different Armies!
