Is there anywhere to preview some content from HaskellBook.com ? Its a little pricey for to just take a chance without seeing any same content. The TOC looks good but that's not much indication of writing style.

There's a sample excerpt containing a few chapters: http://haskellbook.com/assets/img/sample.pdf .

It is pricey, but it is also very good. The content is quite up-to-date (e.g. covers Foldable/Traversable, teaches the Functor-Applicative-Monad progression) and working through the exercises made a lot of things click that I didn't understand before.
