The Haskell bookstore is now open :) The bookstore is an attempt to publish out-of-print books, scientific papers, and technical documentation relating to Haskell and Functional Programming in general which is not otherwise available in print.
At the moment, the shop has * Simon Peyton Jones and David Lester's book on functional language implementation * The FFI specification. more titles shall be forthcoming. I am doing this as a non-profit venture, mainly because I really want some of these books in print :) So the cost is simply the printing cost plus expenses which will hopefully keep things afordable for everyone interested. the bookstore is at http://www.cafeshops.com/haskell_books and a wiki page describing it and allowing people to add to a wishlist and faq is at http://haskell.org/hawiki/HaskellBookstore I am always looking for new material, so any aid in tracking down copyright holders or orignal TeX files for anything desired would be apreciated. Plus, improving the documentation such as the GHC manual and FFI spec is doubleplusgood, as I can regularly pull down the cvs versions and keep the books up to date with the latest developments and good documentation benefits the community as a whole. Please let me know as soon as possible if anyone has any trouble with a printed version, as this is print-on-demand, I can incorporate changes to future editions right away. Oh, and I can't really afford to be sued, so if you think I am infringing on your copyright, send me a note before breaking out the lawyers and I will be happy to work something out :) John -- John Meacham - ârepetae.netâjohnâ _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
