Aesthetics does not matter, really. It was much worse before but when I've 
made some noise about that on boost-doc mailing list, the look was improved 
so I consider it reasonable now. You surely will be able to post your 
complaints too.

http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/libraries.html
shows as much as 11 libraries with real content, see for example:

http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/class.boost.signalN.html

or 

http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/program_options.overview.html

I'm sorry, but this sounds kinda like FUD. What specific issues you have in 
mind? There are some thing I'd personally like to have improved, but 
Boost.Book is definitely pretty usable now.
