I think the book is very good, and contains lots of useful information:
recursion, order of growth, first class usage of procedures,
data abstraction, streams, (meta-circular) interpreters, compilers,
other methods (like normal order) for parameter passing, and
garbage collection. These topics are presented with many realistic
examples.

But then, I like scheme too :^)
