I'm a bit reticent to bring it up given that I won't be done anytime soon, but I actually started writing such a book following DConf. After Andrew brought up the possibility of Effective D in his talk and all of the talk that occurred at DConf about doing more with tutorials and publishing best practices, I decided that I'd give it shot.
Awesome!
And while I'm sure that there's plenty more best practices that we'll figure out over time, and some of what we do know has been shifting as we learn, I think that we do know enough at this point about best practices in D to fill such a book.
Keep us posted.
Interestingly enough, based on Andrei's suggestions, I'm writing it using ddoc so that it can easily be converted into latex, html, and e-book formats rather than being tied to any particular format (I was going to use latex, but Andrei thought that a macro language would be better as latex is very tied to physical print and fixed layouts). It'll probably be the first book ever to be written entirely in ddoc.
This is just being a win all around!
