I second this. In general I find the getting started guide very helpful. It explains a lot of key concepts step by step. I'd just like to mention a few things to be considered for future improvements:
1. it's nice to have the default menus in the sample to do project but it looks like a little magic to me when I read the guide. If would be great to explain a little bit how the menu works and what are the options if you don't want the menu there, or ways to customize an application in the context of how Lift works. This is usually not a problem for page central frameworks such as Stripes, or page/component central frameworks such as Wicket. 2. it'd be also very helpful to maybe briefly describe recommended ways to do lift development with tools such as sbt, JRebel and eclipse, or other IDEs. The tools and setups could be rather dynamic. I think the web page is a better place for these things than the book. If not in the getting started guide, a separate FAQ or a link to a separate page from the getting started guide would also do.
