I don’t think that the Overcoming Bias posts, even cleaned up, are suitable for a book on how to be rational. They are something like a sequence of diffs of a codebase as it was developed. You can get a feel of the shape of the codebase by reading the diffs, particularly if you read them steadily, but it’s not a great way to communicate the shape.
A book probably needs more procedures on how to behave rationally:
How to use likelihood ratios
How to use utility functions
Dutch Books: what they are and how to avoid them
I’m going to break with the crowd here.
