I assume you are referring to this:

-- file: ch03/BookStore.hs
data BookInfo = Book Int String [String]
                deriving show

... Book text here ...

-- file: ch03/BookStore.hs
data MagazineInfo = Magazine Int String [String]
                    deriving show

... More book text here ...

-- file: ch03/BookStore.hs
myInfo = Book 9870135072455 "Algebra of Programming"
         ["Richard Bird", "Oege de Moor"]


When the book mentions a filename, that means that what follows is from
that file, but may only be a piece of that file.  Save all of these pieces
into a file named BookStore.hs and then run "ghci BookStore.hs"  in the
same directory as the file.
