Which Rails book is good?

1

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.

3

Is Ruby on Rails from O'Reilly out already? I thought it won't be released
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 this
one as well)

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

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