I'm guessing since this is the first in a series (the next two are already out) the publisher wants to get you hooked on the author's style and interest in the series. That's what libraries are for.

I've never seen them do a first book before. I've seen some where you can get the first few chapters as a sample.

Cory Doctorow has also released his books (and most, though not all of his short stories) as free to download online, as well.

I highly recommend Little Brother and Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, by the way.
