The Houghton-Mifflin offer is not a hoax - There is a link from their page

I think the idea is just to get people to look at their website, so it's not totally irrational.

There are a lot of these urban legends floating around, and I think every poster should be responsible enough to check them out before passing them on. But this one seems to be legitimate.
