    Calling all connoisseurs of English. Help, I Need a Word!

    I've decided I'd like to divide my next book of shadows into different sections and I want the last section to be a collection of handy lists, tables and references. It will include things like the location of plants in my area, a list of local deities, recepies, home remedies and so on.

    I can't think of what to call this section though and it's driving me mad. 'References' makes me think of a list of books and resources used in the compilation of a piece of writing (and I'd probably want to include a list of books in this section). 'Appendix' might work but feels like it's supplementary to the main text, which isn't my intention. 'Handy guides' or 'handy lists' comes to mind, but some entries won't be guides and they won't all be lists.

    There must be another word or phrase that works. Something I'm missing. Any ideas?

    That sure sounds like it's supplementary. Is there a reason you don't consider it that? Either it's a separate addition to enhance the whole or it is part of the whole, imo.

    Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

      Perhaps "annotated bibliography", or a personalized derivative thereof, depending on exactly what you plan to include.

          codicil.

          a part added at the end of a book or periodical <a codicil to the treaty was necessary to clarify certain provisos that had proved to be ambiguous> Synonyms afterword, appendix, addendum, excursus, supplementRelated Words coda, epilogue (also epilog), postlude; conclusion, ending, finale; accompaniment, addition, ...

          Though mainly applied to an addition to a will,it might also apply here.

            Maybe "further reading"?

              Resources? ....And the rest? Miscellaneous? Things? (My personal favourite: everything can be labeled with "this", "that" or "things)
              baah.

                I'd certainly consider that an appendix (really appendices)...Or, try Enclosure.

                When I write manuals and such, my forms, references, SOPs, etc that I reference get added to the end and listed as Enclosure 1, 2, 3, etc or Appendix A, B, C

                "References" is more for citations...Further reading is good for a list of additional (but not cited) sources, there's always Miscellaneous for randomness...

                  I'd go for Postscript.

                  We knew someone who taught RE who, when he retired, called his house Postscript. And a former maths teacher who called his 'Aftermath.'
