>"Free eBook With Every pBook! If you are an owner of a Manning pBook you can get a free eBook at any time easily from your account. If you prefer NOT to have a Manning account no problem, we won't be offended: we will send you a one-time download link after purchasing the pBook at manning.com. If you did not buy the pBook from manning.com, you can still get the free eBook in all available formats by setting up a Manning account, and registering your copy."[1]
It's also worth noting that you are supporting a a small independent publisher that's DRM free, as well as supporting independent authors. They also regularly have sales, often with 50% discounts, often on holidays. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sale on Monday.
OK, I just bought the bundle. If anybody is interested, I can give one (1) of you, one (1) copy of the ebook for free.
EDIT: Besides, one of the electronic versions in the bundle is sold separately for $24. Assuming that the other electronic version has the same price, the print version alone is worth $12. I don't want to pay $48 for something that will be "thrown away".
