It shouldn't: The resulting page on pediapress.com should say "The  
size of content exceeds our limitations" together with some  
explanation text.

When the above error occurs, it means that an error occured somewhere  
in the process when articles/templates/images are packaged on the  
MediaWiki side and transferred to PediaPress.

About the problem with this particular collection  
[[Wikibooks:Collections/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Nature]]:  
If you just load it and click the "Order book from PediaPress" button,  
the error occurs. That's because at some point, the packaging process  
for this collection had an error and the data is cached[1]. But if you  
change something (e.g. enter a different title or subtitle) before  
clicking the button, the packaging is triggered again and the upload  
works (which *does* result in a book exceeding the current limits for  
PediaPress books BTW :).

[1] How long the data is cached is configurable: It's a cron-Job that  
has to be set up, which deletes all files that are older than N hours.

It's definitely planned to offer this automatically to the customer on  
PediaPress. Unfortunately, I can't give a timeframe for that.
