Apress, 2007
Excellent intro and extremely useful for work with legacy databases
+ Great Book With Lots Of Examples
+ Good, but not so "pro".
No fear of the legacy database!
Excellent book overall, but Chapter 7 is what takes the cake for me.
It's generally considered a pain to use ROR with legacy databases, but
K.Marshall et al, show that it is not only doable, but not bad at all.
Excellent examples and explanations, showing ...

First thing I'd like to point out is this book is up to date with Rails 2.0.2 (released 12/07) which is important as many things have changed like script/generate scaffold, in-place-editing and auto-complete have been deprecated, etc. Essentially, enough to baffle and frustrate a relative newcomer ...
