I have a model called book. I want to be able to check if it has a book with the id of some number. It’s a simple question, and I’m just learning. Don’t be too harsh….

Well, it’s simply:
It will render an object or nil.
Don’t use
Book.find(your_id), because it raises an exception if no book has the expected id.I strongly advise you to check http://railsforzombies.org to learn Rails.
