There is a new one out in an AUC Press edition authored by Manfred  
Woidich and
a co-author whose name I don't recall at the moment (and I am not in  
Cairo to
consult my copy) called Kulluh Tamam, which I think is very good.

For a concise introduction to ECA one of the best things one can get  
one's hands on is still T. F. Mitchell's An Introduction to Egyptian  
Colloquial Arabic (London, New York, and Toronto: Oxford University  
Press, 1956). His book with a somewhat similar title that appeared in  
the Teach Yourself Series is more of a reference work than a  
self-teaching tool. I think both of these works are out of print, but  
they ought not to be.
