"... and attributes (see Chapter 6)in addition ..." should be "... and attributes (see Chapter 6) in addition ...".

3rd line

"... out object is likely a "view" onto ..." should be "... out object is like a "view" onto ..."

I can't parse the following text:

code part 2 and code part 3

at the lines;
$ ls -lh big1.hdf5
-rw-r--r-- 1 computer 784K Apr 13 14:40 foo.hdf5

and

$ ls -lh big2.hdf5
-rw-r--r-- 1 computer 393K Apr 13 14:42 foo.hdf5

I think big1.hdf5 and big2.hdf5 should be written instead of foo.hdf5

Figure 4-3

The direction of the arrow between "Unshuffle" and "64x64 chunk" for "Reading" is wrong and should be reversed.

1st block of code

NumPy stores the value "300" as a "int8" small integer with "44" (and not "-44").

Figure 4.3

The arrow between the Unshuffle box and the "64 x 64 chunk" box should point in the other direction.
