I think a fair benchmark is https://haskellbook.com/.

It's $60 and the absolute most I'll consider and have spent on a book of this nature, outside of botique ancient stuff....and is really well written as well as has a pretty ambitious goal (teach Haskell and programming more generally from the ground up).

I think that’s a fair benchmark, too. It’s a well-written book that starts from first principles — something I don’t see often in books. While I don’t use Haskell everyday, the things I’ve learned from that book influence how I write code every day.
