(Personally I wouldn't find it at all useful to have a printed copy of the library docs, even though I do like printed manuals, because I only ever consult them to look up a specific function or type, which is a lot easier to do in the hypertext version -- but YMMV.)
You're right - if I think about it, I'm not really looking for "the documentation", but more a paper or article which is "a tour of the GHC standard library". That's something that would be really useful from a beginner's POV - and would be more useful than the reference documentation in printed form. There seems to be a lot in the standard library, but very little in the way of pointers on how much there is (if that makes sense...) Anyway, thanks for getting me to clarify my thoughts - I'll see what I can find, and maybe write up anything I discover. Paul.
