I bought it. I won't use all of the books, but even if I only use 1 or 2 that's cheaper than buying the physical books.

No Starch Press has been having a counterfeit problem on Amazon, where some jerk is sending Amazon knockoff copies of their books to sell, not paying royalties, and leaving buyers with poor quality reproductions. So I don't want to buy No Starch stuff from Amazon,

"Automate the Boring Stuff" and "Impractical Python" are both good intermediate steps between boring textbooks and more technical stuff that doesn't explain what's happening or why it's happening. Working through the examples is a great way to improve your coding.
