Apologies if this looks like spam, but really it's not.
Just a quick heads-up in case anybody is interested in picking up a bargain....
Humblebundle.com currently has a bundle of Linux/BSD and free-software related ebooks available until Monday 30th July (or thereabouts).
The titles are all published by No Starch Press.
How many books you get depends on how much you choose to pay.
Link below for the impatient:

The Humble "Linux Geek" bundle offers the following books:
For $1USD or more you get:
- Automate the boring stuff with python: Practical programming for total beginners
- The Artists Guide to GIMP: Creative techniques for Photographers, Artists and Designers
- The art of debugging with GDB, DDD and Eclipse
- Perl one liners: 130 programs that get things done
- The book of GNS3: Build virtual network labs using Cisco, Juniper and more
- No-starch summer sampler
For $8USD or more - you get the above plus:
- The book of Inkscape: The definitive guide to the free graphics editor
- The book of Gimp: A complete guide to nearly everything
- The book of pf: A no-nonsense guide to the openBSD firewall
- The GNU make book
- Blender master class: A hands on guide to modelling, sculpting, materials and rendering
- Doing math with Python: Use programming to explore Algebra, statistics, Calculus and more
For $15USD or more - you get all of the above plus:
- How Linux works: What every superuser should know
- Wicked cool shell scripts: 101 scripts for linux, OSX and Unix systems
- Absolute openBSD: Unix for the Practical Paranoid
- Arduino project handbook vol 1: 25 practical projects to get you started
- Thinking like a programmer: An introduction to creative problem solving
For $30USD or more - you get all of the above plus:
- The Linux programming interface: A Linux and Unix system programming handbook
I've just ordered the full bundle for myself - mainly because I REALLY wanted the linux programming interface book and the GIMP, Inkscape and Blender books.
Just thought I'd share it in case any of you lot are interested.
The humblebundle website regularly runs offers like this. I've picked up a few of their previous ebook bundles over the past couple of years and have managed to build a fairly sizeable library of ebooks for a fraction of the usual cost.
So if any of you are looking for some decent resources - this bundle might just be what you're looking for!

Jas
