X-link to the DRM-free thread for the new Humble Bundle with some non-fiction content:
Humble Comics Bundle Jack Kirby & Will Eisner Centennial Celebration contains a number of prose history books and magazines exploring the works and legacies of the pioneering comics creators and early North American superhero comics in general. TwoMorrows Publishing's industry spotlight issues are generally very good indeed, and there's also a nice looking book on the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby collaborations which founded Marvel Comics, among other things. Also, the Humble Book Bundle Stranger Creatures Supporting the Jane Goodall Institute which has some non-fiction animal wildlife titles at the top tier, including the noted primatologist's classic memoir, is still available. |

Humble Book Bundle Cybersecurity presented by Wiley, who are probably best known as the publishers of the Dummies teach yourself series, contains assorted books on various computer and related security issues, including some technically non-technical books about manipulating people via plain old social engineering. Also, a reminder that the Humble Bundle Stranger Creatures supporting the Jane Goodall Institute is expiring in a couple of days. |

Two history titles by Ernle Bradford have dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US (but not at Kobo US, at least as of now). I've not read either of these titles, but have read The Great Siege: Malta 1565, Thermopylae: The Battle for the West, and Gibraltar: The History of a Fortress, all by this author, and have enjoyed them all. These are Open Road titles, so the price drops will likely be short.
