Books on writing short films?

Can anyone recommend some books on writing short films? I've been reading feature screenwriting books, but I'd like to pick some up that deal with shorts specifically.
 
I'd be interested in this too. I'm working on a short script right now that's been kicking my ass. Hard to put real storytelling value into a short. Much easier to map out a feature...
 
I own this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Developing-Di...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246288527&sr=8-2
and it is amazing, densely packed with incredible content, ideas, guides, tables, idea generators, anything and everything. The title is deceiving-- it is also a great reference for making feature films, not just shorts.

Randall,

Did you notice that I reviewed this excellent book on Amazon in MAR 2006?

I was on the "early receive" list for it and have spoken to Sherri, the author, a few times about different screenwriting issues. She's pretty cool.
