I got the ad (and a subsequent review copy, upon request) after we
published the first issue of the Journal of Law & Technology on the
web. It appears that they got my name, and address, from the web
(both are displayed in the "Contacting the Journal" page).
I haven't had much time to read the book, but my recollection is that
it is somewhat misguided in its analysis of privacy online. Its
historical perspective is fairly thorough, however.
