how about a pocket-size book on each of those, sort of like a TRW-pocket-series.
Mastering RegEx TRW
Mastering Unit Testing TRW
Mastering Metaprogramming TRW

Thinking like Guy Decoux TRW (w a detailed compilation of Guy's postings :))
(the last one definitely i'd buy as long as Guy signs it :)
the advantage of this is that we can quickly produce more books in ruby
my big ruby books usuall sit on my shelf, but the pocket books always go wherever i go :)
just a thought on why small is beautiful or less is more ;-)
