Recommendations for books (Ruby on Rails)

[titchard]

Hey guys,

I am looking to purchase some Ruby on Rails books later today or tomorrow and would like the great people of OCUK to recommend me which RoR books are the best in your collective opinion as a good base point.

I am currently looking at...

Agile Web Development with Rails: A Pragmatic Guide (Pragmatic Programmers) .

&

Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide, Second Edition: The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide.

I was also looking at Ruby on Rails for Dummies but felt that it may not be that great.

The first two I was looking at seemed to compliment eachother, but are there any other books you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

I have read Why's guide to RoR yes, but I prefer to actually have a book I can refer to than a webpage I find it easier to read and follow than a site.

And too solaris, I don't want to turn this into a "which is better" discussion I just want to find out what books people recommend for RoR - I will probably look at other languages at a later stage.

So no recommendations yet? I will be ordering this today otherwise I think.
