MAYNOT BE REALLY: Free Book on HTML 5 game programming and another on animation

Thank you JM and Greg Duncan for pointing this out!

  I agree with JM... Are you really sure this is legally free? "Addison-Wesley" isn't trying to get you to buy a faster download, it's the filepost site that is... If you search for that book there's a number of copies around the web, all on torrent, etc sites.
