Paper Book - Missing Appendices? On page 46 of the printed book it mentions an Appendix B and an Appendix D. Where are they? What about Appendices A and C? Also I'm missing an index for this book.

Currently the appendixes can be downloaded Apress Lift Book page, see "Appendixes" link from "Book Extras" section.

Paper Book - Missing Appendices?

On page 46 of the printed book it mentions an Appendix B and an Appendix D. Where are they? What about Appendices A and C?

Also I'm missing an index for this book. Is there one?

On the back cover it mentions a companion e-book for $10 - details on last page. No details on the last page of my book.

Currently the appendixes can be downloaded Apress Lift Book page, see "Appendixes" link from "Book Extras" section.

Page 86, Listing 6-11: There is no identifier.

That should read:

private object tags extends ...

Chapter 3, page 40: A rewrite does not result in a 302 moved response.

Confirmed

Listing 3-16 has a typo: currentLegdger should be currentLedger

Confirmed

Chapter 2, Page 12

There should be a reference to how to successfully build/run the PocketChangeApp after pulling from github.

For example, add the following XML after the '</properties>' end tag and before the '<developers>' begin tag in 'PocketChange/pom.xml', save, and then run 'mvn jetty:run'.

This is a side effect from the break-in on scala-tools.org. At the time of writing, the scala-tools.org repositories were properly mirrored to the Maven central repositories and the build would work fine. To avoid any future issues like this, I've explicitly added the repositories back in to the pom.xml file on commit 37ec4fc372bc3355e1e960e0b06b57619d547a7d.
