New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:

Humble School's Out Book Bundle presented by No Starch Press

It's a mix of geeky science/tech toys & programming books, quite a few oriented at the kid-friendly level, but some others suitable for all ages. I personally recommend the Manga Guide to Databases graphic novel, which I also own in a paper edition along with others in the series, and is a translation of a university-level Japanese work with text contributions by a professor.

Tiers as follows (current average is under $9, but I expect this to climb sharply, as the previous No Starch HB did), top-tier is $17, more books to be added next week.

Quote:
Name your price for Super Scratch Programming Adventure!, The LEGO Adventure Book, Vol. 2, The Manga Guide to Databases, Wonderful Life with the Elements , The Art of LEGO Design, and the No Starch Summer Sampler 2015.

If you pay more than the average price, you'll also get JavaScript for Kids, The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide, Learn to Program with Scratch, Arduino Workshop, and The Linux Command Line.

If you pay $17 or more, you'll receive all of the above plus The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Discovery Book, Teach Your Kids to Code, and Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.
ETA: X-link to the Comics megathread where StoryBundle also has a DRM-free comic book bundle for the next 29 days.

The Dynamite Comic-Con Omnibus Bundle has a variety of comics across various genres, in complete story-arcs with a minimum 10 issues equivalent for each series. This seems like pretty good value, even if you have some overlap from previous Dynamite comics bundles.
