Actually I was hoping for a suggestion that didn't involve more work :-) However
it's an interesting idea. NB for the P&P glossary (aka the Bibliography) I

Other people have muttered something along similar lines - for example, 
putting all the images in a different page and linking to them. I suspect this
would irritate an equal number in the other direction though. Something might
be done though...
