That would be better option than you comment above, imho.

I clearly wrote: "I saw references at the site, but looking for some
"1st hand experience(s)" which implies I'm aware of ocaml.org, but
looking for some opinion which book is best suited for someone starting
with the language, iow. looking for "subjective comments".
If such questions and answers do not belong here, then I must say it's
a bit strange (never had such experience on other-language's lists).

Thank you for your kindness, but maybe I'll have none.
