atw: Re: Sitepoint 5 for 1 Sale

This deal has been all over twitter this week. Darren Rowse (@problogger) 
went in to help them out with it, or something like that earlier in the 
week. His messages have been highly retweeted.

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.
 
Brian.
