This is a cool project, but the title of the book is very mis-leading ("Building a billion-dollar company"). Without knowing the author, people might presume that this book is written by someone who has built a billion dollar company before, and thus hand over $5 only to be disappointed (since they can't preview chapters). Not to mention it's a little link-baity. Why not just call it "Gumroad"?

I agree that the title could use some love. Here's my contribution: The Gumroad to building a successful company. You can thank me later, Sahil ;).
