Hi,

I bought the Ruby Cookbook recently - see my blog post on it here -
http://jugad.livejournal.com/2006/11/12/ - and I think its really
good.
Covers *lots* of recipes in different areas (the book is quite thick,
but not like some books which try to make up for quality by
quantity:-).
The authors are Lucas Carlson and Leonard Richardson, both of whom have
done good Ruby work.
