Which Rails book is good?

[pmak-adwords]

Any suggestions on which book for Rails is better (I have no prior

experience in Rails, though I've done lots of web development in
Perl/Ruby and MySQL):

Ruby on Rails: Up and Running: Rough Cuts Version
from O'Reilly

Agile Web Development with Rails : A Pragmatic Guide (The Facets of
Ruby Series)
from the Pragmatic Programmers

Agile Web Development with Rails was very well written in my opinion,
but I haven't read any of the other books.

Is Ruby on Rails from O'Reilly out already? I thought it won't be release=
d
until July. The Agile Web Development book is pretty good. Given that
the author of Ruby on Rails is also a famous one (Bruce Tate), it should
be good. (I've read Bruce Tate's other works so I'm looking forward to th=
is
one as well)

Not in paper form, but O'Reilly is selling the PDF version on their
website (which will be updated as they refine it).

The one I prefer actually is Ruby for Rails (http://manning.com/books/black).
