No Starch Press "Humble Bundle"

If you're interested in Python programming (I'm trying to learn it, but probably never will) you've probably heard of Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes. My local library got it in and I borrowed it but I decided I wanted to buy it. The eBook is $24 at Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Ebooks.com, Books A Million, etc. So I thought I'd check No Starch Press directly and there I found this "Humble Bundle."

12...Err... 15 books (one sampler) for $15. (You can pay more if you can afford it.) So, very cheap, but what's really good about it is that it's all DRM free and comes in ePub, Mobi and PDF. It was well worth it for the one book for me (though I will check out the other Python books and the SQL one) also.

This bundle has a little over five days left. But there's also an O'Rielly Classics bundle. Same deal. DRM-free, all three formats, etc. The first four five are a minimum of $1, eight ten books a minimum of $8 and 12 14 books, a minimum of $15. (The No Starch bundle was the same, the book I wanted was in the last batch.)

At any rate, a good deal if you need any of these books. You would think a "bundle" like this would push the older editions, but Python Crash Course is the new one (published in May of this year).

At any rate, for what it's worth.

EDIT: Looking a little closer at the O'Rielly Classics bundle, it's actually fourteen books. Five in the first group, five in the second and four in the third. Corrected above.

EDIT 2: I guess I can't count. The No Starch Press bundle has fifteen books (14 if you don't count the sampler) NOT 12. Corrected above.
