price: your contact info
buys you: a chance at a free ebook (IOW, very probably nothing; either way, no cost to them

See, contest drawing = free! Oh, but not for you -- for them.

Sorry to be cranky, but "free" is abused so much (free iPod...).

The description comes from Manning, not me, so I'm not too worried. I do find the interest in the wording interesting though.

> price: your contact info
If you can't think of a way around this, you're not the person I think you are ;) It asks for a first name and an email address. The email address gets verified, but it would need to be valid to collect anyway. Personally I don't consider these extreme in any sense.
