That's not good. I'll check it out. I think we have a pdf of the index and I'll ask Wiley if we can post it on this wiki for others who hadn't yet noticed the missing half of the index and can no longer return the book.
Edited later: It's uploaded here.
At least you have an online searchable version on this wiki :o)

I ordered a Symbian OS Internals book and found that about half of the index pages are missing. The index stops at page 894 with the 'M' items. I am going to try to return this book to Amazon.com and get a good one, but I thought you should be told about this problem in order to check with the publisher.
