TDD by example (by Kent beck) is one of the best books i know for TDD. But examples are in Java though. — 18bytes, Jul 27 '12 at 11:29

With the books mentioned above peepcode screencast on cucumber and rspec is also good.

I really liked this one: The RSpec Book: Behaviour-Driven Development with RSpec, Cucumber, and Friends.

The Cucumber Book is a great book, which although small doesn't miss out on anything you'll need to know about BDD using Cucumber and Ruby. I'd also highly recommend Growing Object Oriented Software.

All the previous answers were centered in the technology behind TDD/BDD (i.e. rspec).

If you are looking for a way to see/understand the process as a whole I really enjoyed Rails 3 in Action, because it TDDs a whole application.

It is easy to follow and quite mind-opening! :)
