you make that sound like a bad thing ...
Well - not intentionally, and for the cognoscenti formal presentations can often be translated to a high-level language like Haskell more easily than say pseudo code; but if you don't have much prior experience I'd think something at the Dragon Book's level would be quite demanding. Myself, I bought the Grune et al. book after getting stranded with the Dragon Book. Working through the Grune made reading the Dragon Book a lot more accessible.
