Given that PT:LOS is free online you can just try reading it. Even if you don’t understand all the maths (do you know some calculus?) you’ll still be able to read his verbal explanations of things, which will give you a good idea of the distinction between frequentist statistics and Bayes.
IIRC the version that’s online is not the same as the dead-tree version you can buy; the latter has extra material and bugfixes. (I do, none the less, think reading the online version is a good way for Benito to determine whether he finds it approachable.)

Indeed. (Although the dead-tree version doesn’t have that much extra material. It mostly just has the “—Much more here!!!--”″ notices deleted.)
