Many of the Humble Tech Book Bundles seem like they offer little to no value. But this one looks like a good value of you're interested in any one of the books available.

I hadn't bought a bundle in a long time, maybe I just don't remember it being that bad, but really? Even with the "extra to charity" preset, the charity gets less than Humble themselves? That's kind of gross.

You can do a custom distribution. It does look like Humble takes a 30% cut minimum now though.

I paid $30 for the full bundle and only $1.50 went to the charity. I'm not sure what percentage is above the cost of the material, but I wish I knew I could have changed the distribution to favor the charity more.
