I also read an advance copy of the Rails Cookbook and thought it was  
much better than the other cookbooks out there. Yes, the examples  
were much more fine-grained, as you mentioned in your review, but all  
O'Reilly Cookbooks start that way for the first few examples. I  
showed a newbie the recipe on testing cookies and he was off to the  
races in no time.

There are many practical examples that cover a wide range of topics  
(including a bunch on testing). They actually put the time in to make  
it up-to-date (covering upcoming features of Rails that will be in  
1.2) and involved the community (not just a few members from the core  
team).

Anyway, that's my 2p.
