If you are publishing your book in the Upload writing mode, and you are seeing that the sample book available on your book's landing page is the full book, then it is likely that you accidentally uploaded the full book PDF file in the "Upload Your Sample Book Files" section here:
https://leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/upload
...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.

On the Upload page, ou can click the red "Delete PDF" or "Delete EPUB" button in the "Upload Your Sample Book Files" section to remove the full book from being offered as a sample:
Then, if you prepare a different PDF with just the sample content you want to share as a sample book, you can upload it in that section.
Please note that in our Upload writing mode, we don't modify the files you upload, either for the full book or the sample book.
