First of all, unfortunately "Language Design Patterns" is such a good sounding name that it makes it difficult to improve its meaning. A couple of suggestions: "Language Processing Design Patterns" - Not as cute, but maybe somewhat more accurate "Pattern Oriented Language Engineering" - Maybe a little too reminiscent of the Pattern Oriented Software Architecture series, but don't you love the POLE acronym? That would call for a white bear on the book cover :-) As a subtitle you could use something like: "Implementing Domain Specific Languages the right way".
