No, the book ended up being much larger than they anticipated and if I understand it correctly, their workflow process could not handle that many chapters/sections. We had two options: wait for APress to fix the workflow and miss having the book out for JavaOne, or make the appendices available as a free PDF online and have a book ready in June. We opted for the latter, since we felt there was already a lot of interest around Lift and we wanted to have something for people to get their hands on. It's not an ideal situation, and I'm sure some people will disagree with our decision, but it is what it is at this point.
