There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

In a non-fiction book intended for a popular audience, is it OK to have an appendix to an appendix? One particular paragraph in the main section will needs a couple of thousand words to prove ; so I put it in an appendix. But then one paragraph in that appendix needs a couple of tables and some calculations to prove. I don't want to interrupt the flow by putting it in the first appendix; but the tables and explanation are too big to reasonably fit in a footnote. And the tables need sourcing, which sort of makes putting them in an endnote problematic. So the appendix to an appendix seems like the best solution, but..

Maybe call it a Diagram? Exhibit? Attachment? Annex?

Annex sounds good. Thanks Wolfram.

Tumor?

Can you just put the table at the end of the appendix and refer to it as Table X?

One of my math textbooks actually had a "lagniappe" section.
