On the one hand: this is pretty cheap marketing tactics; on the other hand: Yay, free book! :)

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

France was gone after the group stages. I don't think they assigned any book to France ?!

I'm guessing there could be a lot of promotions today across the net where the format/justification is: "Because won, then is "

not that that is a bad thing
