    ^ I'd skip that, the "big" blacklists are fully of bs blocks (imho).

    You can add one of those annoying little "write text to show us you aren't a bot"

    or

    You can have one of those annoying services that send them an email asking for verification (super annoying).

    or

    You could use a service that tests all the emails to be real (not that that would determine if it were spam, but it could).

    Given the (beautiful) content of your book, it's not surprising people would use "gmail" accounts. I only use my gmail and yahoo emails for newsletters, never a business account (if they won't accept that, and some won't, then I move on and forget it - make it a pain and people won't subscribe).
