Sometime back somebody asked if jaruk Saastri pEraDeelu were available
in a book form.I have a May 1982 edition of 'jaruk Sastri pEraDeelu',
compiled (edited?) by K.V. ramaNaareDDi, and published by navOdaya
publishers, viajyavaaDa. The book has a cover by baapu, who also
illustrated most of the parodies. Prefaces were written by
K.V. ramaNaa reDDi and indraganti hanumacchaastri. Each of the parodies
also has an editorial comment explaining the context. akshintalu posted
by Sri varigonDa appears to be from this edition.
About the time of this publication, navOdaya also brought out a short
story anthology by jaruk Saastri called 'Sarat poorNima' (1981) and
a novel 'tanalOtaanu' (1983). I don't know if any of these are
still available in print.

PS: On the back cover of the parodies book is aline drawing of the poet
with the legend,
"pEraDee sooreeDu saahitee chandruDu
sudhalu kurisE kathalu
sudigaali visirE kavitalu
raasina jalasootram rukmiNeenaatha Saastri
