These look great, and judging by other people's comments, are instances of a class of book I will poorly describe as "lovingly-crafted works of art on highly technical CS topics", a genre that I am always on the lookout for more examples of.
From my own experience, some examples might be:
- SICP, by Abelson and Sussman
- Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming, by Norvig
By general acclaim, some examples might be:
- How to Design Programs, by Felleisen et al
- Beautiful Racket, by Butterick
- LISP In Small Pieces, by Queinnec
- The Art of Computer Programming, by Knuth
- The Elements of Computing Systems, by Nisan and Schocken
What else comes to mind? (My list is very LISPy, but that's just bc I have high awareness there.)
