Pay What You Want for a Selection of 
Unique Programming Books
San Francisco, CA (August 17, 2016)--The last time geek book publisher No
Starch Press teamed up with Humble Bundle, they sold a record-breaking $1

than $430 USD, this bundle is a must-have for any programmer. With Humble
Bundle's trademark pay-what-you-want model, readers can pay whatever price

"We've built a bundle of books that we hope will be fun for people who love

founder of No Starch Press. "These are many of the books that I've loved over
the years--some recent and some not-so-recent--and they promise to make
programming fun again."
