Cookbooks...
There are a few results on google for "GIS cookbook"- not much of substance.
A rundown of a couple...
I did find this CSISS cookbook: It's got separate recipes for ArcView 3.x, 8.x and 9.x, and not really a cookbook, as noted by a slashgeo commenter. However, it's about the best there is and widely referenced.
There's an Arc/INFO one:=Slightly dated and very small. But still good
There's a Swedish/Phillipine one being put together for Local Govt Units...can't find the actual book, but it sounds like something useful.
There was ESRI UC paper in 2003...
I have some ideas about what might be good to have in such a cookbook- having enjoyed a few selections from that O'Reilly series, including the recent Ruby one. Maybe a collaborative web site would be a good start. Several promising places to stick such a thing.

Hi Matt,
I'd be down for a cookbook contribution--although most of my recipes include scripts downloaded from arcscripts..
Also, I'm sure almost every GIS program has their own in-house version of a cookbook..wouldn't it be interesting to see academia spearhead something like that (like the CSISS.org tried to).
Definitely would be nice to have something general. It seems like so much GIS stuff is divided up by what tool you use. Hopefully in the new mashed-up, SOA, WOA, ROA world, that will all change.
