It's worth looking at - specially given the "free" price. Any book with duct tape on the cover can't be all bad!

It should be noted here that this is just what it says it is, an Introduction and Index, it is not the full $25 book.

Yep. IIRC, they don't let self-publishers do free samples. I was guessing this was the author's way of offering a free sample for his book. Not as seamless as the publishing house books, but personally I think the free samples are a huge part of the attraction with the Kindle and even more important for a self-published work. I'd probably do that, too, if I were to self-publish through Amazon.
