> Is everyone aware that this is merely a dump of SO documentation, repackaged in PDF format ? Yes, it's stated on each book's page.

  True. However, the discussion here in this thread doesn't indicate that everyone understood that statement.

Agreed. The Haskell version has advanced topics such as Free Monads in chapter 8 and higher-order functions in chapter 35! The author for each piece of content has also not been included, which means I have no way of knowing if the content has been authored by a computer science professor or his/her student.

  There is a list of contributors at the end of each book, but it's only their site user name with a link to the profile.
