BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you.

I bought this book because lately I’ve been checking out EVERY RubyOnRails book I can get my hands on from my local library and so far I’ve found Simply Rails 2 covers more content in just the right format for me, a total RubyOnRails noob. Every time I have a question, the book answers it. :D
