Humble Bundle has two book bundles currently running which may be of interest:
Humble Book Bundle DIY presented by Make contains a lot of nifty how-to science/technology things compiled from articles in the magazine, as well as an history of steampunk with Q&As with notable sfnal authors like Bruce Sterling and Margaret Atwood, and an annotated reprint of a vintage DIY home science education laboratory manual which looks pretty interesting (apparently people were really bad at basic safety precautions back in the day), and a discount coupon offer for subscriptions to the magazine (print & digital).
Current average is just under $12, which is close enough to the top-tier of $15 that you might as well splurge.
Quote:
Pay what you want for Make: Volume 34, Explore the Deep; Make: Easy 1+2+3 Projects; Make: Volume 17, Lost Knowledge; Make: Volume 29, DIY Superhuman/Mod Your Bod; Make: Like The Pioneers; Make: Planes Gliders and Paper Rockets; and Make: Inventing a Better Mousetrap.

Also, Humble Bundle's new
Humble Comics Bundle The X-Files presented by IDW contains 2 tie-in novels written by Kevin J. Anderson and originally published by HarperCollins, and a new short story anthology with contributions from award-winning sfnal authors.
Details in the Comics megathread.
StoryBundle has a new offering for:
The Sci-Fi Spectrum Bundle curated by Joseph R. Lallo, containing a variety of mostly indie-written science fiction novels, several by authors who have trad-published short story credits on ISFDB, across many subgenres.
$3 minimum gets you 5 titles, $12 top-tier an additional 4.
There's also their:
Historical Fiction Bundle again, mostly indie works, but the two novels by Helen Hollick (
Wikipedia) are backlist reprints IIRC (Hollick's other historical novels and Arthurian fantasy have been republished by Sourcebooks) as well as being historical pirate fantasy, if you happen to like that sort of thing.
$3 minimum nets you 4 books, including the 1st Hollick, $12 top-tier gives you another 4 books (including the 2nd Hollick), and there's a bonus freebie for newsletter subscribers (no purchase necessary).
And this week's batch of Agate freebies have become available as DRM-free ePubs directly in their webstore. Linkage to the eligible ones via our
drm-free ebook tag as always.
