The book seems to be missing an import statement like

```auto
λ import HaskellBook.Examples.Introduction.CreatingModules (Name (Name))

```

in this passage;

> We’ll start by importing the Name type and its constructor, but not the getName field selector:

```auto
λ exampleName = Name "haskeller"
λ getName exampleName

<interactive>:5:1: error:
Variable not in scope: getName :: Name -> t

```
