It appears that they are giving away copies of Lang's Algebra at
http://jsp.freegiftsgonewild.com:8080/freegiftworld/?CID=64387&M=0&SID=KE
9618587&nopop=1&KWID=Serge+Lang&ADTGID=17442&cv=5091813389606669667..&bip

It says,
Must be 18 or older, U.S. residents only. You will need to meet all of
the eligibility requirements before you can receive your free gift. See
Privacy Ploicy [sic] and Terms and Conditions for complete program
details.

As I'm not a US resident I didn't follow up on this to see what terms
and conditions you have to put up with.
