This one is very useful as a general introduction to multiple aspects of "reproducible research". There are now many books on the subject and I expect quite some overlap.

Christopher Gandrud's "Reproducible Research with R and RStudio" is a very useful book and well written. It serves at least three important purposes: it pushes the reproducible research agenda (providing the ability for the original researcher or others to be able to re-run and confirm work in the future), it gives a good selection and overview of critical tools in and near the R ecosystem (R, RStudio, knitr, git, latex, Markdown), and describes some good work habits (such as the directory layout suggested on the cover).

Terrible text quality. I can't miss the book, otherwise I would send it back because the text is so light that you can't read it.
