The scaffold generator takes a model name, followed by an optional space-delimited list of field name:type specs. So you might say:
script/generate scaffold Book name:string description:text price:decimal Or you can leave off the list of field names (in which case you don't get much in your views or the migration). But the generator doesn't know what to do with that trailing "Manage". Note that since you already have a table created, you'll likely want to delete the migration that the scaffold generator creates for you. Also--bonus unsolicited advice: you're best off using the exact version of rails that your author specifies.
