How do you guys know that it is worth the money and the trouble to buy it without reading or knowing anything about it? There isn't even a short summary of the book on that Amazon page selling the book. I just don't get it.

Knowing the quality of "Deco For Divers", it would be quite out of the usual for it to be a underachiever...

It isn't just the "quality" but also the subject of the book and what is in there. There is NO description of any kind of the book other than its name.
There should be some sort of the description on the Amazon page as there usually is for all other books on there.
I doubt seriously that the book is not worth it. Waiting for my copy as its coming from the UK. For those not wanting to "risk it", wait until folks read it and give you their opinions or just order it and if you don't like it return it. Amazon will take it back (and usually pay for shipping too).
However, I can't wait for my copy and am eager to learn from this great author/diver.

again, I'd make the same comment...
Powell's discussions in D-4-D was an outstanding presentation of some very complex topics. I am quite certain his approach to this book will continue to provide clear discussions.
There is this website camelcamelcamel.com which tracks prices of Amazon items over time. You just copy paste the item's url and there you go.
Now for this particular book it's too early to get any info, but for items that are sold for some time it is very useful tool.
Enjoy
I just got my copy tonight.
