In fact rather than buy a book on RB , a much better investment would be in
a book like "Design Patterns" by Erich Gamma and Richard Helm . The stuff in
there is indispensable and will serve for a range of languages, not just RB.
If youre intent on buying a book on RB, don't go for the "Dummies" type - I
think its best to choose one that has such comprehensive coverage and depth
that it can act as a "reference" even when youre up and running and
programming in RB years later.
