I saw the e-book page of our website and noticed that I needed to pay if I wanted to learn more about, say, American animal idioms. I'm interested in that but I am not sure if after each idiom there will be an example sentence of using the idiom. I want to have a free reading of the book. So, I want to contact the editor by asking them "Do you offer free reading for a few pages of this book?"

Is it natural?
 
If it's your website, don't you know what's on it and what it includes?
No, it's our website, UsingEnglish. I clicked the link to the E-books.

I want I'd like to have see a free reading sample of the book no full stop here so no comma here I want to contact the editor by asking them to ask "Do you offer a free reading sample for of a few pages of this book?"
See above.

Please post in the Support Area so that the editor (@Red5) can see and, hopefully, answer your question. (I had a quick look at the e-books section in case moderators can see the content without paying but we can't so I can't answer your question.)
 
Usually these are called 'previews'. Typically such previews let you see a few randomly selected sample pages, but generally not an entire unit or chapter, and usually not more than a few consecutive pages at a time.

Here's one example. Google book preview. Click the 'preview' button to see some sample pages.
