When I try to export a book, it only seems to export the book page, not the underlying pages.

Or am I missing something obvious?

The book page is a config entity, therefore can be exported with `drush cex`. In my experimenting, I was able to successfully export all the book nodes.

@kartagis: Thanks for your reply! But did your method include the book hiearchy, so in other words: where you able to automatically export and import the complete book + structure?

What do you mean by structure? Could you tell me the way to reproduce it?

Going to include this to a new release as it's based on latest changes from 1.4.x that are not yet released.

To test this, you just export all books node with drush or via UI with bulk action export content.
