I have a couple of Sitepoint books about web design and can confirm that
they're bona fide.

Sitepoint is the publisher. They've got a few books on my uni reading lists
plus their books are in Dymocks. They have pretty detailed listing of each
of their books on their site http://www.sitepoint.com/ , plus they let you
download a chapter from any book before you buy it. Sitepoint is pretty
trustworthy. They gave away a pdf of an old edition of something a month or
2 ago - the only annoyance was that it did have alot of ads for web hosting.
This deal is for pdfs, not the printed books, so it costs them nothing
really. 
 
I usually get their newsletter and haven't got anything from them about this
deal.  Could just be another special they advertise only on twitter (which
they often do), and I haven't logged in to twitter this week.

        How can anyone know whether any of these offerings is worth $29.75?
There are no authors, publishers or other detail - such as list of contents,
date of publication or even the number of pages, an extremely poor proxy for
value. For all we know these could all be one-pagers. And just who is
SitePoint? - never heard of it.
         
        Let's be a little careful before we get suckered into supporting
what could be a bunch of shysters.
