In the "Traversing Branches" section in chapter 4 of the PDF version of the book (page# 154, labeled as page# 132 in the [r4866] version of the book), there is some missing text at the page break.
PDF text:
"In other words, if a user knows that the branch work needs to happen on only a specific subdirectory, she uses svn switch to move
only that subdirectory to the branch. (Or sometimes users will switch just a single working file to the branch!) That way, the user
can continue to receive normal “trunk” updates to most of her working copy, but the switched portions will remain immune (unless
someone commits a change to her branch). This feature adds a whole new dimension to the concept of a “mixed working
—not only can working copies contain a mixture of working revisions, but they can also contain a mixture of repository locations
as well."

Thanks for the report.
Unfortunately, our PDF generation is only as reliable as the tools that do the work. From time to time we find that the FOP-based output (PDF, PS, etc.) isn't always the most reliable in the world. But ultimately, this project's primary deliverable is the Docbook XML source of the book. The more human-readable output formats are somewhat secondary and provided as a service.
Closing this as WontFix, though that sounds quite a bit more obstinate than I intend.
