I am curious, do people actually pay $30 for an ebook without even being able to see a(propsed) table of contents of a sample of the writing?

This is unusua. With both Amazon and LeanPub you can at least gauge the writer's style or get a feel for writing quality by looking at a sample chapter and a table of contents.

I'm skeptical that all of those people praising the book bought the book site unseen.




apparently this is the ToC for "pre-release #2" http://i.imgur.com/ssYr5ki.png

seems like pretty simple stuff; couldn't all the information be found with one internet search away?


Couldn't the table of contents be available on the official site for the book?

I should instead resort to doing a separate Google search for the TOC?
