Not that I know of. Though Jon has his OCaml For Scientists, and it was
once rumored that Brian Hurt may have been doing something with Pragmatic
but I don't know if that was true or not.
Honestly, as a neophyte, you're probably best served by first going through
Jason Hickey's excellent Introduction to OCaml
<http://www.cs.caltech.edu/courses/cs134/cs134b/book.pdf> and then perhaps
looking at the translation of the French O'Reilly book
<http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/> (it's a bit out of date, but
still valuable).
And yeah... the apress book is really pretty bad in many ways. You're
simply better off without it.
