I agree, as an owner of three of the "Mastering" books, including
the last two, for D6 and D7.  I also own several of the "X and Tex"
books, and am trying to track down X's latest.

I wasn't aware the publisher had discontinued the "Mastering"
line.  If Marco's still willing to write, surely there's some
way he can still be published?

Have a link to the discussion on Marco's forum?  Do you think
he needs to hear from more of his readers?

Anyway, given the lead time for books in print, I doubt that
the next book in print from Marco will come sooner than D9.
I only hope it can be worked out by then.
