I am very interested in this topic. I read I can get points to spot typos in the book? :) Possibly the little endianness part of the chapter contains a typo. I get different results/.
Here is a link to my gist with explanation

The correct representation of the actual contents for little endian encoding should be:

Type Logical Contents ....... Actual Contents
long aabbccddeeff0011 -> 1100 eeff ccdd aabb
