I would gladly buy a book of "SQL Recipes" ranging from beginner-level to advanced stuff that uses features like this, ideally with coverage of at least a few popular database systems, but at minimum Postgres.

Is there such a book?

In fact, Yugabyte is giving it away for free - https://downloads.yugabyte.com/marketing-assets/O-Reilly-SQL...
This is great! Thanks for the link. :)
Joe Celko has a number of SQL for Smarties books I've been meaning to look through.
These are phenomenonal books. Your understanding of sql as both a language and as a tool will be transformed.

A bit dated in places but that also is helpful as you learn how a technique works instead of just relying on a vendor specific extension
