That&#x27;s a fair comment. I didn&#x27;t buy the book <i>completely</i> blind; I read a tutorial Brisbin wrote on his blog on building a simple web app with Yesod. I thought he wrote clearly and concisely, and he didn&#x27;t gloss over parts that would otherwise be a total roadblock for me. As I mentioned in the article, I don&#x27;t know the guy, so I can&#x27;t speak on his behalf. But, maybe write to him and see if he can cut you a deal?<p>In any case, I&#x27;m not made of money but given the choice again I wouldn&#x27;t hesitate to pay the money to gain that much knowledge.
