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


Humble Book Bundle A Galaxy of Stars in Sci-Fi & Fantasy presented by Open Road which lives up to its name, and actually has a couple of books which are normally out from different publishers.

This features some very good selections of work from Ursula K. Le Guin, Stanisław Lem, Theodore Sturgeon (geo-restricted to US-only, I think; it says “not available in your region” for me), Poul Anderson, Patricia C. Wrede, Robert McCammon, R. A. MacAvoy, Harlan Ellison, and more. I already have a decent chunk of this from past purchases (including the Sturgeon from past travelling), but there's still plenty to make it worth it for me including a few wishlist items, though I wish they'd gone with books available worldwide for everyone, since the exchange rate is currently unfavourable for me. ETA: it seems that HB doesn't keep actual physical address info in the account settings, and goes by apparent geographic IP address when purchasing and/or downloading. YMMV.

Anyway, fixed tiers of $1, $8, $15, and $18 (no new titles added next week).

Sometimes you just need a little space. Take some time for yourself to explore new worlds in this science fiction & fantasy bundle! You'll find flights of fancy from Ursula K. Le Guin, Patricia C. Wrede, Greg Bear, Octavia E. Butler, and many more. Some of the stories deal with pretty dark matter, but if it's any constellation, remember that once you star-t to read, you just might meteor new favorite author!

They also have the Humble Book Bundle Be A Coder presented by No Starch Press which has a very good selection of DIY computer programming books on both obscure and popular languages.

The first two tiers contain a lot of repeats from an earlier HB, Hacking bundle or something like that. But the top two tiers contain all-new items, and if you missed the earlier bundle, then the repeats are useful, since they're for less popular languages that don't show up very often.

Fixed tiers of $1, $8, $15, and $18 (no new titles added next week).

Learn you some coding for great good! No Starch Press is back with a new bundle of great good books. Get Wicked Cool Shell Scripts, The Book of R, Gray Hat C#, The Art of Debugging, Code Craft, Data Visualization with JavaScript, Ruby Under a Microscope, Understanding ECMAScript 6, and other resources to help learn you a thing or three!

And last week's HB was Humble Book Bundle Maker Skill Builders presented by Make: with books and issues of the popular DIY tech craft hobbyist magazine, this one focusing on various forms of fabrication using new technologies for old crafts such as leather and woodcarving, as well as programming.

HB runs a lot of Make: bundles, which are apparently very popular, so this has a lot of repeats, but also a bunch of brand new items as well, some not yet released elsewhere.

Fixed tiers of $1, $8, $15 (new titles were added this week), and $20.

If you bundle it, they will come. Build your dreams with our new bundle from Maker Media! You'll get brand-new 2017 releases like Zero to Maker, Second Edition; Design for CNC; Getting Started with the micro:bit; Getting Started with 3D Carving; Modern Leatherwork for Makers; and more. Plus, check out Humble-exclusive first looks of Jumpstarting JavaScript and Jumpstarting C! If you build it, it will be awesome.
