A useful start would have been discussing theory in chapter 7. Instead the idea is discussed in chapter 9. Chapter 7 is a mishmash of distance measures, similarity and examples. A radical explanation of the output produced by clusterdumper would have been useful. With some knowledge of the algorithm you can figure out what c and r are and the numbers assigned to the vectors are. However taking a easy instance and showing the actually hand calculation would be very useful to somebody completely new to clustering.
