New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:
Humble Book Bundle UNIX presented by O'Reilly featuring all sorts of DIY reference/learning to get you better acquainted with the popular computer OS' built-in tools and spin-offs such as Linux (current 2016 3rd edition) and Mac OS X (sadly outdated, alas: this 2nd edition boasts that it has been updated to cover 10.2 Jaguar; we're now up to 10.12 Sierra). ETA: apparently the Mac OS X book now covers up to 10.11 in the actual 2016-updated edition that you get in the HB; it's just that the used cover image, product blurb, and the linked O'Reilly catalogue page are all for the original 2nd edition from the mid-2000s.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15 (no new titles added next week). This is very good value for money, and an auto-buy for me.

Last week's
Humble RPG Book Bundle Pathfinder presented by Frog God Games is also available, and chock-full of fantasy RPG tabletop campaigns and supplements compatible with Paizo's Pathfinder system and setting, which was a previous HB.
StoryBundle has two new offerings:
Leading Ladies Fantasy, containing indie titles with leading women characters. $5 minimum for 5 titles, $15 top-tier for an additional 5 titles. There's also a freebie in it for newsletter subscribers.
