Forcing me to give up an email address or my Facebook identity to even find out what link contains does not make me love this brand.

I'd greatly prefer just seeing the Table of Contents or even the intro chapter without login before giving up data to the site.

Gah! I didn't realize that (I'd been logged in for ages before they launched this publicly). I've just notified the GA team and with some luck we can get this bad user experience remedied. The irony is not lost on me. Thanks for the comment!

edit: Updated the URL to a landing page you can at least see before the login. Sorry about that.
