Just make sure you use a throw-away email address... Sitepoint will spam you like crazy. No such thing as a free lunch :-)

Better yet, just go to mailinator and check the "sitepoint" inbox. There's already 3 links sent there, thanks to the efforts of others!

I gave them my email with a plus sign in it, and I was surprised that the web form accepted it and I got the email. However, clicking on the link they emailed me, which had my email (and therefore the plus sign) in the url, broke their site and just sent me back to TFA. Nice bugs guys.

The email address you enter won't matter. Just put in any valid email address you want and then visit http://sale.sitepoint.com/claimpdf.php?email= with the email address you entered appended to the end.

In that vein, http://sale.sitepoint.com/claimpdf.php?email=foo%40bar.com is now a direct download link :)

Their email address validator is broken anyway. It doesn't support host names with subdomains such as foobar@foo.bar.org At least it supports addresses such as foo.bar@foobar.org

Interesting 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.

that isn't how that works at all.
