Does anyone have any thoughts on a good way to create a TOC for a large number of small items?

As you may have noticed, I'm currently creating omnibus editions of Shakespeare's complete works, split into four volumes (tragedies, histories, comedies, and poetry). The poetry is the issue, specifically the "Sonnets", of which there are 154.

Given that there will be one per page, what I'd though of doing was to simply create a TOC entry for every 10th one - ie 1, 11, 21, etc. This would result in 16 TOC entries, and you'd need to move backwards or forwards a maximum of 5 pages to locate a particular sonnet.

Does this sound like a reasonable solution, or does anyone have any better ideas?
