That book by Joshua Tallent is the best single resource on formatting MOBI ebooks that I've found so far, cybmole. As far as I know, there isn't really a single definitive MOBI spec - I've used Joshua Tallent's book, Amazon's Kindle Publishing Guidelines (PDF), bits of info on the Mobipocket website, bits of info picked up in the Community Forums on Amazon's KDP website and in the forums here, plus good old "try it and see what happens" (in conjunction with the python script mobiunpack.py to unpack a resulting MOBI file and see what HTML has actually been used) to put together my own mental map of how the MOBI format works with regard to formatting.
