Books on Game Design at Humble Bundle
Humble Bundle has a very appealing bundle of digital books focused (mostly) on game design and puzzle-making. I already own some of these books and I can highly recommend them (I’ve also written a chapter in one of them – see below).
There are actually 3 different packages you can get, based on the amount you will pay:
Paying $1 gets you these:

Hobby Games: The 100 Best by James Lowder et al.
Girls on Games by Elisa Teague
Kicking It: Successful Crowdfunding by Monte Cook, Shanna Germain
If you pay at least $8 you get the above plus the following:
Boardgames That Tell Stories 2 by Ignacy Trzewiczek (this is the one that includes a chapter written by yours truly)
Family Games: The 100 Best by James Lowder et al.
Kobold Guide to Board Game Design by Mike Selinker et al.
