TTOP is the standard work on the topic. Some parts I would say fell out of fashion (using Miranda for example), but many parts are either timeless or still just as relevant.

That said, the book is very dense; for me it was just too much the first time I tried to read it. After circling back to it after a while it gets much easier, because you know what parts you really need (which is a common pattern for me at least with everything academic).


Miranda should still be readable for those with some Haskell background (it was a major influence on developing the Haskell language). I also have a more modern update to Miranda called Admiran: https://github.com/taolson/Admiran
TTOP? Do you mean TTFP?
TAPL, I meant TAPL (Types and Programming languages by Pierce)! This would not have happened with a well-typed comment section. I mixed up OP's book (which is nice as well!) and the abbreviation. Sorry!
