I'm one of the authors of another Backbone ebook (more Rails integration focus), and I heartily recommend Nick & Chris's book. Great content, well-written, and applicable.

One of my personal principles is that I value educational content and training very highly. It's a worthwhile investment - worth the money at over twice the price.

These guys have been thinking hard about these problems for some time. You can see a lot of what Chris has been thinking/writing about re Backbone and JS practices on his blog http://japhr.blogspot.com/

If it isn't the Thoughtbot one, could you please provide a link to your book?
The thoughbot book is available here: https://workshops.thoughtbot.com/backbone-js-on-rails. Great stuff going on there -- heartily recommend it.
We wrote our book from the start to be complimentary to the thoughtbot book. They are creating a great introduction through intermediate content and lots of info on rails integration.

My recommendation: buy both, read theirs, then ours :-)

thanks @jayunit
