An O'Reilly "nutshell" book is an even better suggestion than
my "Design Patterns in Haskell" of a few days back, at least
from the perspective of marketing and promotion.
But it raises the issue of an appropriate animal mascot for
the cover; I can only come up with the Uakari, an exotic-looking
rainforest monkey, which sounds similar to "Curry".
(look here for a picture:)
<http://www.animalsoftherainforest.com/uakari.htm>
One possibly relevant point: the site notes that the Uakari is
"mainly arboreal (tree-dwelling)". On the other hand, this means
that it is probably threatened by deforestation, whereas this
phenomenon can be of great help in Haskell :) .
