The only one I can think of is Alan Bradburne's "Practical Rails Social Networking Sites." A great book but worryingly named. It's as good as AWDwR and walks readers through an application from start to finish, but I personally feel the title might put people off into thinking it's only for people who want to build social networking sites, when it's really suitable for anyone as a Rails tutorial.
