The issue here is probably that we don't explain how sample books work properly.

When you use sample: false, the chapter title still appears in the table of contents for the sample book. This is so people get an accurate understanding of how much content is in the "real" book, and the topics it covers.

But if you go to an excluded chapter in the sample book, you will see this:

Just to be clear, here is how it was done in this example:

{sample: false}
