Nothing really, but I think the code portions of a book like that might be interesting. Allen Downey's book has a bit too much layering of OOP for the sake of OOP for my taste. Check it out if you haven't, he builds up classes for most things where simpler data structures could be used, and ends up wrapping everything in what's effectively a custom API.
