[Haskell-cafe] Compilers book in Haskell

[Tommy Thorn]

You beat me to it although I'd reverse the order of your list.

Also I wouldn't ignore the classic,
http://www.amazon.com/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-Tools-Edition/dp/0321486811
but know that it has next to nothing useful specific to FP languages,
and certainly not lazy languages.
