Hi

Is Graham Hutton's book on Haskell Programming a good text for FP beginners?

Yes. There is a review in The Monad Reader: http://www.haskell.org/sitewiki/images/0/03/TMR-Issue7.pdf

From the abstract:

"Do we need another introductory Haskell book? Is there anything new to be said or a better approach to take? Graham Hutton thinks there is. I think he is right." Thanks Neil
