StoryBundle: The Video Game Bundle

I'm not sure how many of the gamers here are interested in reading about games, but I thought I'd pass this along in case there are some since it caught my attention. For the next 20 days or so, StoryBundle has a deal on a set of ten books about game history and culture. They cover topics like making of games, what games teach and how, and the player-character connection, to name a few I saw on skimming the descriptions. The minimum price of $3 will get you 7 of the 10 books; if you want all 10, you have to pay $10 or more. I think these could be good reads, but haven't decided if I want to buy it myself or not. I'd be interested in knowing what others think about them, and in particular if it's worth the extra money for the bonus books. Thanks, and enjoy!

BTW, here's the list of books and authors, if you'd like to see that before going to the site for more information:
