Does the book itself have more prose than what's found on the webpages linked from the table of contents? Those webpages are very sparse on actual explanation; they are mostly code dumps. I would expect a book on a key-value store to be a lot more theory focused. You could write a whole book on hash tables alone, but the hash tables "chapter" is only a few paragraphs of actual explanation [1].
