trivial mistake. It works in the static folder and probably many other non web2py system folders. library/static/book.pdf
Hetland's "Beginning Python ..." sticks to the basics and web2py documentation should not be skipping them. Also, a complete summary of all features should be included as is found in the appendices of some books. The one page cheatsheet, however, is nice. The book does not point to it.
