Hello all, I was snooping about the Ruby site the other day (OK, like two weeks ago) when I got bored, and I noticed the book page is out of date. I e-mailed the webmaster e-mail address, but nothing has changed. 1. From Java to Ruby is out now (rather than Coming Soon). 2. Ruby Phrasebook is also out. 3. Rails Cookbook looks to be out also. 4. Ruby Quickly has changed to Hacking with Ruby which is probably changing again… 5. There are a number of books that are coming soon and new in print that aren’t on there (e.g., the PragProg’s Paypal+Ruby book, my Ruby book, Apress’s complete Ruby/Rails line other than Beginning Ruby, Rails for Java Developers…). Who maintains this section? I can e-mail them directly if that would be more helpful. Thanks, Jeremy ---

Email me the books you would like added and where. I’ll get them in there. Please view the page source and send them to me in that format, so I can dump them right in. Thanks. James Edward G. II ---

[ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org) has maintained a book list for a while now: [http://ruby-doc.org/bookstore](http://ruby-doc.org/bookstore) If folks are aware of Ruby books not listed, please let me know. – James B. “Take eloquence and wring its neck.” - Paul Verlaine ---

Good enough then. (I’m still looking forward to grabbing a paper copy, I like the phrasebook format.) ---

There are a few other books that could go on these book lists: The three ‘short cuts’ (including the Mongrel book Zed and I just finished): [http://www.awprofessional.com/ruby](http://www.awprofessional.com/ruby) This is the book page you were referring to, right Jeremy?
