OK. Maybe *tricky* is not the right word here. But I wasn't talking about the instructions, rather DocBook itself. So, it's not the BLFS way that is tricky, I haven't read that part of the book or attempted to install DocBook on my LFS/BLFS system, yet. The first time I tried to set up DocBook was on a Debian box. I was reading Norman Walsh's Definitive Guide and Bob Stayton's DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide. I remember t wasn't easy to set up properly and it took some time to get it to work the way I wanted it to. So, I guess I was talking about understanding how to set up catalog files and configure DocBook, etc., rather than just following instructions. I'm sure the instructions in the book about setting up DocBook are very clear, the book has been very easy to follow until now.
