I wonder what you did? The PDF versions we published on
http://docs.gimp.org were still considered as work-in-progress.
Additionally they are very much outdated.

I have to agree with Sven here. The manual was written by a lot of
authors and people who spend their free time on the manual.

I can't remember that you gave either me or someone else of the
documentation team a note that you published the book. It would have
been much better to post a mail to the docs mailing list:
