Thought so myself, so I used mailinator. The book looks cute, though, despite my unfettered hatred for the Ninja term (don't get me wrong, I lurve ninjas, but programmers are neither Japanese assassins nor famous musicians).
Rather generious formatting, though. Printed, this would be one of those books that could've been done with half the pages and still be as readable. (And for online reading, who needs margins and reference sections?)

As a Sitepoint subscriber for about 5 years now, no they don't.

I don't subscribe, but I've given them my email a handful of times to receive free samples of books. (They're extremely generous with this. In a couple of cases, they sent easily half a book as a free sample.)
My experience has been that they're on the low-volume end of the "we have your email" spectrum. Not nothing, but not hideous.

#18Interesting book, I just wish it didn't use the .html() function that much, especially the .html(externalInput) pattern - it's a great way to open XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities on your page unless you're very careful and the author apparently doesn't warn the reader to be careful.

Thats not as big of a problem, as if; the Adobe pdf they sent has security violations.
