Hey folks - Jason from thoughtbot here. We're aiming for a very collaborative format here, giving collab access on GitHub as we write the book using Scott Chacon's git-scribe [1].

I've been looking at backbone.js stuff for the past three days and couldn't find anything worthwhile besides cloudedit's tutorial and the docs. Just today i was checking on books. Talk about luck :).
