Some context, I've been living in this house for about 3 years now, my girlfriend and i moved in to take care of the owner of the house. Turns out that he was a big lisp / scheme hacker back in the 80s-90s and had developed a lot of cutting edge tech in his hay day. Anyway, these books have been hiding in his library downstairs...
It was like finding a bunch of hidden magical scrolls of lost knowledge :)
edit: I will compile a list of the books later. I'm out doing 4th of July things.

One of my research advisors is a big time Scheme guy, and has been on the board of different scheme revisions, and he has told me about how difficult SICP is for those who aren't mathematically (ie proof-based university math) inclined. He is a big proponent of The Schematics od Computation. He calls it "SICP for mortals", for what it's worth.
