Uh...the BTA is wrong as displayed. The BTA books are Spin and Shards of Honor, not Just a Geek and The Last Unicorn.

Edit: Humble Bundle fixed it.

Looks like they've fixed it. I get the books as advertised with non-BTA now, when it was showing the same as you to begin with.

I never wanted to be a hooker anyway. I always wanted to be a lumberjack.

Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia... The giant redwood, the larch, the fir, the mighty scots pine! The smell of fresh-cut timber! The crash of mighty trees! With my best girlie by my side, we'd sing, sing, sing!

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day

I got the non-bta and didn't get Just a Geek or The Last Unicorn but if I go to increase the amount it say pay more than 9.76$ to get Spin and Shards of Honor. Weird.

Now this is BS. Sorry to say that but if it is their mistake then they should have no right to replace the books you already had on your acc. Honestly I consider asking them to revoke the transaction just for the sake of it

Mandarin Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people, but English is spoken the most widely, especially since most websites are primarily in English.

Esperanto is "international" language - Fixed this for you.

"Nowadays Esperanto is seen by Esperantists as an alternative to the growing use of English throughout the world, offering a language that is easier to learn than English, and can also help preserve cultural heritage that can be endangered by English." Easier to learn ("Vocabulary from Romance and Germanic languages" - yeah, have fun)?

I don't care enough to make a whole new thread, but if anyone here is interested in cheap eBooks, Storybundle.com just started up another sci-fi eBook bundle: http://storybundle.com/. $3 minimum for 6 books, pay $10 or more and get 2 bonus books.

Nah I tink they will hold off on doing any game bundles to stay away from the time when Steam will likely be doing their big sale.

Honestly, this bundle is worth it for The Last Unicorn alone. A great book, easily one of my favorites.

I never read the book but the animated movie was one of my faves when I was a kid. I bought the bundle just so I could read the book. These are actually the first ebooks I've bought cause I still love having a real book in my hands.
