there's some good stuff in there. i've read Ian Bogost's "Platform Studies" book on the Atari 2600 and enjoyed it, and that 'making of Spelunky' by Derek Wu holds personal interest for me (since i think it's a brilliant platformer and he seems to know what he's doing).

I've bought from them before, wish they'd put out bundles more frequently. I've gotten their Nanowrimo bundles and scifi bundles before.
