a good book, but it wasn't compelling for me
I have no doubt this is a well-written book (I read it in its entirety). Unfortunately, the examples weren't compelling to me at all. While the lambda calculus interpreter was interesting, the time spent on the theorem prover was not very interesting (I wonder if it was added as an homage to ML's legacy??).

Overall, I suppose this book is a little dated.

Good introductory book with some advanced chapters
If you want to know something about ML, but learn it through good examples and interesting problems. This is the book! Also has some neat chapters on automated theorem proving, logic and interpreters.
