Most people buying Ruby and Rails books are buying them from http://www.pragmaticprogrammers.com, to support Dave Thomas and friends.

O’Reilly doesn’t really have any good Ruby books IMHO.
That’s the first thing I noticed when I joined their Safari network !

By this time most people have already books on Java and PHP.. Combined with the facth that Ruby (and Rails) recieve a lot of attention i can understand people decide to buy a book and find out why it get’s this much attention..

The only other thing to worry about is that percent changes look great when you come from a small base. If very few Ruby books were sold in 2004, then there still could be a 15x larger, but still very small number of books sold in 2005. There is absolutly some kind of a trend there, but it is very hard to get a grasp on it from the information presented.
