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

Humble Book Bundle Astronomy presented by multinational academic/textbook publisher Springer Verlag, chock-full of educational and informative space-based science titles.

This is really nifty, and covers stuff like spacecraft and the history of asteroids and archaeoastronomy and professional eclipse observation and DIY stargazing, and is an auto-buy for me.

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

Quote:
Astronomy, it's between God and me. Reach for the stars with this library of astronomy books from our friends at Springer! It's packed full of spacey goodness. You'll learn about next year's solar eclipse, about comets and asteroids and moons and the sweet views from other planets. And did you know that archaeoastronomy is a thing? It's totally a thing.

Pay $1 or more for A Stargazing Program for Beginners, Weird Astronomy, Racing the Moon’s Shadow with Concorde 001, and Rock Legends.

Pay $8 or more and you’ll also get Your Guide to the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse, Moons of the Solar System: From Giant Ganymede to Dainty Dactyl, The Great Canoes in the Sky, The Lost Constellations, and Finding a Million-Star Hotel.

Pay $15 or more for all of that plus SpaceX’s Dragon: America’s Next Generation Spacecraft, Earths of Distant Suns, Planetary Vistas, and Archaeoastronomy.
Last week's Humble Bundle Code Your Own Games presented by Apress, full of DIY computer programming guides, is still available as well. It looks like they added a couple of game industry-related business/management titles to the middle tier.

StoryBundle has updated its Immerse or Die bundle of mostly sfnal indie titles with a freebie anthology of short stories, if you're a newsletter subscriber. Only one more day to get either, or the 2016 NaNoWriMo Writing Tools bundle, which also expires tomorrow.

Bundle of Holding's new offers are for popular RPG games from UK-based publisher Cubicle 7: Cubicle 7 Worlds containing a miscellaneous assortment of smaller games, and Cthulhu Britannica, a Lovecraftian London-based supplement spin-off of the highly popular Call of Cthulhu RPG franchise. Last week's Through the Breach, a Lovecraftian Wild West RPG from Wyrd Miniatures based on the Malifaux miniatures line, is still available.
