No Starch Press Teams Up with Humble Bundle to Present the Humble “School’s Out!” Bundle
Readers Pay What They Want for an Amazing Selection of Geeky eBooks for Kids
San Francisco, CA (June 17, 2015) — Summer can be tough on kids, and cabin fever can be even worse for parents. But with the new ebook bundle from No Starch Press, boredom is banished. San Francisco-based No Starch Press has a history of publishing smart books for curious kids, and now, with its Humble “School’s Out!” Bundle, readers can pay what they want for a selection of its best books for kids, valued at over $300.
“This bundle includes great books on Arduino, Linux, Scratch programming, science, and even LEGO robotics,” says Bill Pollock, No Starch Press founder. “No matter where your interests lie, you’ll find something cool that makes learning fun. For the price of a frappuccino, you can get a whole geeky summer camp in a box!”
And as with the previous Humble Bundle presented by No Starch Press, every sale benefits organizations that make a real difference. Pollock explains, “I was excited that our readers raised over $100,000 for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Freedom of the Press Foundation in February, with our previous Humble ebook Bundle. We’re happy to be doing it again—parents get great books for their kids (and themselves!) and support organizations that matter.”
