Thanks for the commit.  I made and committed a few minor fixes,
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/changeset/12602/

The page number 27 is bold and black instead of small and green (at
least in the PDF).

Once you think that we are close and update the master PDF, let me
know and I'll run through all the copy editing steps, including spell
check.  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Copy_Editing

Looks good!  Thanks for working on it.  I'm looking forward to completing it.

Best regards, Eli
