I am currently working my way through the tutorial book that has been online for some time. It is perhaps the most valuable book I have and I am really looking forward to reading this one.
I would like to suggest we need more things like this - the Haskell cookbook is a great initiative, but I would love books on any number of other things. I find the conference papers are pitched just a little too high to be educational and are often very specific.
One example of what I mean - I had looked at Haskell parser libraries and I know there were problems a, b and c and X was a solution to a, etc... However, I did not "really" understand how they worked - until I did the parser for the Core Language. Now it is all so clear!
I am rambling a bit, but I am jut really pleased this has been made available.

I think this is most welcome... I have the original printed version and have found it to be of great inspiration at various times.

Very many thanks to Marnie Montgomery, who did all the work.
Happy reading
