I spent years teaching and learning from/with others before I started on the book, from there we had testing rounds of material before it got released. In addition to private feedback I've taught the material in the book as paid training

I think what you should be looking at is from the perspective of your readers. Is reading your book necessarily the best way for someone to learn Haskell? What if a group of 20 ppl paid you to be with and tutor them full-time? Could that be worth the price?
