OK, Chapter 6, 'Understanding Ranges' is available at [1]. 
They've edited it a bit to make it work as an article, so it 
isn't exactly as it appears in the book, but it's close enough.

Chapter 3, 'Programming Objects the D Way' is available as a 
sample from the book page at [2] *if* you are not logged in *and* 
you do not have a cookie cached. If you are logged in, you see a 
'Read Online' button, but it's 'Free Sample' if you are not. If 
you have a cookie cached, clicking 'Free Sample' will log you in 
and take you to the same place as 'Read Online'. Otherwise, it 
will take you to the same web app, but will allow you to only 
read Chapter 3.
