If you're interested in learning F#, this is the most comprehensive book available. The text is well written and the examples are instructive. And after all, the author is the inventor of F#.
Because this book provides source code in Standard ML, it's a fantastic resource for learning F#. One bit of warning: this book does not teach classic data structures. While structures such as binomial heaps and red-black trees are presented, it is assumed that the reader already knows and understands them.
