XeTeX and related packages will always be a running target, and for me the (La)TeX books (I've bought a whole lot of those in my life) had always the disadvantage to not being up to date anyway. I'm not giving book recommendations to the students in my LaTeX courses anymore because of this.

So I think it's better to create a wiki like ConTeXt garden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/), where one can both have the official documentation and it's updates, tutorials and cook books for beginners, a code snippet repository, announcing of new packages, you name it.

Just collecting and organizing the existing sources on the web and cutting and pasting some of the most interesting solutions given here on the mailing list would be a great start.
