Is there a sample chapter? It's hard to know if I want to purchase it without knowing anything about how the book is written or whether it tried to achieve its purpose.

Can't you download it for free, look through it and then "re-purchase" it for a price you feel is fair ?
That's what I did, do it pretty often with music as well (man I love bandcamp), if I wind up using it a few times I go pay the asking price.
On the 'Get the book' link, the last paragraph states: 'We have set a minimum contribution of _FREE and a suggested contribution of $19 to cover the time and investment the four of us put into this book.' The 19$ is the _suggested_ price, the actual sum is up to you. As you guessed it is a collection of interviews.

Here is the sample chapter. The URL required some data cleaning. http://wzchen.com/s/the_data_science_handbook_three_free_sam...
