No Starch Press Partners with Humble Bundle for the
Humble Book Bundle: Linux & BSD Bookshelf
Readers pay what they want for a selection of
best-selling Linux and BSD books
San Francisco, CA (October 28, 2019)—No Starch Press, one of the world’s premier tech publishers, is partnering with Humble Bundle to offer a selection of the company’s best-selling Linux, BSD and Open Source books. Humble Bundle: Linux & BSD Bookshelf continues this hugely popular collaboration which has brought in millions of dollars in revenue and raised well over $1.8 million for charitable organizations and their causes.
The Linux & BSD Humble Bundle benefits two important charities: the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the No Starch Press Foundation.
The company is excited to continue its support of the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s important work. Dedicated to defending civil liberties online, EFF defends free speech, fights illegal surveillance, advocates for users and innovators, and supports freedom-enhancing technologies.
No Starch Press is also excited to continue its support of the No Starch Press Foundation -- a Foundation built by the company’s founder, Bill Pollock, to support the worldwide hacker community and certain STEM initiatives. Low-income and underserved populations are of particular concern to the Foundation.
According to Pollock, “This bundle marks the start of the No Starch Press Foundation’s first round of funding. We’ll be granting up to $100,000 to qualified applicants by mid-December 2019. I’m very excited to have this opportunity to give back to the worldwide hacking community and hope to make a real positive difference in our world.” Grant applicants should visit https://nostarchfoundation.org/apply-now/ to complete their grant requests.
This ebook bundle—valued at more than $700—includes fan favorites like Book of Gimp and Absolute Free BSD 3rd Edition, new releases like Your Linux Toolbox and Autotools, 2nd Edition, and best-sellers like Linux Basics for Hackers and The Linux Command Line, 2nd Edition.
Like all Humble Bundle promotions, customers choose how much of their money goes to the publisher, Humble Bundle, and the benefiting nonprofit. With Humble Bundle's pay-what-you-want model, readers pay whatever price they think is fair for each bundle, making it a true bargain.
