You don't need a book for tarts.
Once you learn how to make a short crust and a custard (pastry cream, frangipane, flan, mousse, quiche, etc.) you can make any tart, or make up your own.
Becoming a better baker is learning the fundamentals (science) of baking, not blindly following a recipe book like Tartine.
Advanced Bread and Pastry textbook on science of baking by San Francisco Baking Institute
How Baking Works (not a recipe book, but a textbook on the function of ingredients)
Culinary Institute of Americas Mastering The Art and Craft Baking and Pastry, it's crap for the science but as textbook it has just about every formula a professional baker will learn to make in a pastry program. Anyone using this book will need to know baker‘s percentages because they’re not recipes, they are formula, and scaled for production.

If you liked Tartine: A Classic Revisited, you might enjoy Tarts: Sweet and Savory by S. A. Strauss for a mix of tart recipes, The Art of French Pastry by Jacquy Pfeiffer for French tart techniques, Pies and Tarts with Heart by Kathryn Hawkins for creative twists, The Sweet Life by Alice Waters for seasonal tarts, and Pastry School by Le Cordon Bleu for a comprehensive guide. Hope these help with your baking!
