[LRUG] Ruby/Rails book recommendations

[Ed James]

One book I find my self reading over and over is Eloquent Ruby. 
It’s a bit old now, but still a brilliant book.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eloquent-Ruby-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321584104/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=eloquent+ruby&qid=1557752102&s=gateway&sr=8-1 <https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eloquent-Ruby-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321584104/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=eloquent+ruby&qid=1557752102&s=gateway&sr=8-1>
