So . . . what's the difference between this upcoming book and the Fields
and Harvie *Refactoring: Ruby Edition*?  I'm not entirely clear on why
this book is better than, or particularly different from, the other.

I ask because I was considering getting a copy of *Refactoring: Ruby
Edition*, and now that this new book has appeared on the horizon I wonder
if I should get that instead.  Please note that while "get both" is a
reasonable idea in the long run, I'll definitely only buy one at first,
and would like to know which would serve me better, initially.
