The book doesn't specifically mention a short field procedure because the one given *is* the short field procedure. The technique specified meets certification criteria about handling qualities, speed buffers etc. Other techniques may get the a/c off the ground earlier - although not necessarily clear an obstacle further along, or may clear a higher obstacle nearby but usually do so at the expense of losing protective speed buffers or reduced handling qualities.
Landing techiques have the same caveats.
Do other techiques work? Sure, but you'd better be very sure of your skills & judgement. My previous job required me to fly into strips as short as 380 m, often in strong turbulence & with obstacles nearby, sometimes at night for air ambulance in rather nasty weather. There are times when operating on the very edge of the performance ability of the a/c will get you in or out, but there will be an increased risk.
