_ Here's how I divide my books. 

1. Stays on Desk. ( _The_Ruby_Way_ ) 

2. Stays on Bookshelf. ( _Ruby_Developers_Guide_ )

3. Loan/recommend to people. ( Pickaxe ) 

4. Recycling. ( No Ruby books in this category yet. ) 

_ I'd happily let you borrow my Pickaxe, but I'd insist
you buy your own copy of the Ruby Way. 

_ Booker C. Bense
