I'd pitch my book/blog: https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/ to you. It's about all the soft skills I wish I'd known when I was younger. :)

> I'm wondering if there isn't any good book to cover instead basic patterns from functional programming, stuff you see regularly in languages like javascript and python.

I liked Eloquent Javascript. It's JS specific of course, but has a chapter on higher order functions: https://eloquentjavascript.net/05_higher_order.html plus more.

I was interested in purchasing, but it's so expensive! Is that a choice or a symptom of small print runs? Amazon was more reasonable but I really don't like to purchase from them.

Yeah, sorry! I don't control pricing and they recently upped it by 50% (used to be around $30, now around $45).

My only advice would be to look for a coupon code. They run a lot of them. Here's one they sent me for 40% off before Mar 22: SXSW22

Cheers!

I ended up biting the bullet and ordering from Amazon. Read the first chapter to my daughter and we both enjoyed it! Glad I saw you mention it here.
