         | (Btw, not _that_ much has changed since 2002 in terms of the
         | fundamentals of type systems. Certainly some stuff at the
         | edges, but this book covers about 95% of what you might need.)

         | (you can save a penny!) though that's dated. Clicking through,
         | it's $59.99 for the ebook from various sources. The ebooks are
         | not PDFs, though, and so the formatting leaves something to be
         | desired (based on samples). More complex math renderings are
         | images that look ok. IIRC, there are some large code blocks in
         | the book at some points but not in the samples so I can't
         | evaluate them for clarity.

           | EPUBs are generally awful and only PDFs can be trusted IMHO.
