Is this possible?
No but you could add a filter to remove posts that include "book" in the
subject and that would remove some of the topics that don't interest you.
The best alternative is not just ignore the posts that you don't feel
fit your mood of the day or address problems that you are having.
The book discussion reappears regularly and reflects a need and an
interest in improving the rate of adoption of Maven.

There is a desperate need for a "Best Practice" book.
You see all kinds of strange development practices being discussed here.
They show up as complaints about Maven's inability to do some process but
when you dig a bit deeper, the person has evolved a development methodology
that makes no sense if you have Maven.
The lack of this type of information also makes it harder to get started
with Maven since there is lots of flexibility in Maven and if you read the
documentation, silly ideas and good ones all seem possible.
If you look through the last few weeks of forum traffic and try to
understand what the person was actually trying to do, you will see:
a) odd source and resource structures in a project
b) odd release strategies
c) odd or missing dependency management
and the list goes on.
There are clearer "best" ways to integrate Maven into a development
environment.
A book on the subject will also have to touch on IDE integration, source
management, maven repositories, continuous integration and other
development areas.
I would like to see a book targeted at the 80% of developers who should be
using these tools "out of the box" with no custom plug-ins or custom setups.
Discussing the odd-ball cases would only make Maven more confusing.
