You, if you want to learn Coffee-Script from the ground up. Maybe it is your first language or you know .Net, C++ or PHP. The book lays the foundation needed for complex web applications, game logic & algorithms.
If you already know some JavaScript then you might want to look at The Little Book on CoffeeScript and Eloquent JavaScript.
You can also cherry-pick topics; for example QuickCheck, Underscore, WebSockets or class inheritance.
The third revision is an update to CoffeeScript 1.1.3 & Node 0.6.
The second revision had a new book cover and a correction on the existential operator.
The first revision had new examples in the Language Extras appendix on the do statement, bound functions, for ... when, and destructuring assignment.
The main changes are the inclusion of QuickCheck, the discussion of inheritance and the modularity chapter with distributed systems. All the references and appendices on performance and the command line.
In Eloquent JavaScript there is much more on object prototypes and on Web, DOM, Browser events and HTTP.
