This has everything you want to know about Samurai Champloo. It includes Character Profiles, Episode Summaries with screen captures from each episode, Interview with director, influnces for the anime, how they made the soundtrack, soundtrack info, and much more. A great book for a great anime/manga.

I loved the anime so I wanted to give this a try. It was alright.

This is the companion book for the anime, a short read to be sure. I particularly enjoyed the character layouts near the end - not just the main characters but all the characters. Eee! Gets me geeking out every time. Overall a nice look behind the scenes.
