I have been using my Drupal site for a year and have a couple of books that I had created. These appear in the 'Book Navigation' list and can be accessed by anonymous visitors.
But I recently noticed that any new books that I create are only visible to logged-in users, and disappear from the navigation list when I log out.
Could it be due to some module's access control setting? What are typical modules that can cause this?

Cache setting 'Minimum cache lifetime' was the cause
I just figured out that because I had enabled caching recently and had set 'Minimum cache lifetime' to something like 1 day, I was seeing this problem. The new posts were not causing the front page to be regenerated immediately. Changing this setting to '' seems to fix it.
Besides this issue, I was also seeing some other weird behavior like the pages appearing as if I was logged in, in spite of having logged out, and not being able to access some content even though I appeared to be logged in.
This issue seems to be resolved at least for now.
