I have often wished for "The $language Cookbook" for many values of $language. Highly recommended.

I think "Mastering Regular Expressions" can be almost completely replaced by 'man perlre', but perhaps not for utter neophytes.

My only issue with man pages is that I can't flick through them away from my desk or computer/device.

Which makes me wonder how easy it is to make a pipeline for man pages to my Kindle device/app. Hmm. Another rabbit hole to follow, joy!
