Is everyone aware that this is merely a dump of "Stack Overflow Documentation" (not Stack Overflow Q/A), repackaged in PDF format ? (Also a request for bitcoin donations.)

There is no indication that these books are curated or edited.

Agreed. The Haskell version has advanced topics such as Free Monads in chapter 8 and higher-order functions in chapter 35! The author for each piece of content has also not been included, which means I have no way of knowing if the content has been authored by a computer science professor or his/her student.

There is a list of contributors at the end of each book, but it's only their site user name with a link to the profile.

Yes, it's stated on each book's page.

True. However, the discussion here in this thread doesn't indicate that everyone understood that statement.
