I'd submit that our book builds from the ground up and covers dramatically more than FPiS, you can see our chapter listing here: http://haskellbook.com/progress

The book covers so much because wanted it to work for people who
1. Weren't necessarily familiar with FP or at all, or in some cases, programming period.
2. Would be able to apply Haskell or learn more advanced concepts on their own after working through the book.
#2 required covering much more of the intermediate stuff than any of the existing books available.
I wrote the book because of the problems detailed in this blog post with the pre-existing materials: http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-12-31-functional-education.html http://bitemyapp.com/posts/2014-12-31-functional-education.h...
