Book content duplication

i have owned the pickaxe book for a while, and finally had the good sense to
read it

i went out soon afterwards and picked up a copy of ‘the ruby way’ and ‘ruby
in a nutshell’. however, i’m wondering if ‘ruby in a nutshell’ should be
kept as all of the information /seems/ to be duplicated in the pickaxe book
and ri. is there anything i’m actually missing if i omit it from my
library?

I use both the Pickaxe and Nutshell in my daily life. Nutshell is at
work, as it is a quick, efficient reference. It’s skinny good.

Pickaxe is at home for the Gentleman-at-Leisure.
