I just checked again, and thank God, it seems the book "Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics" is in Open Access.
No book has ever can come close to the magnificent exposition of geometry and programming you'll find in it :

- empressplay 5y agoLots of great ideas in there! Thanks for the link!
- abecedarius 5y agoThis is a marvelous book coauthored by one of the SICP coauthors. In contrast to SICP its focus is on math more than programming, and it aims at exploring math more than covering a curriculum for a course. In Logo's heyday there were several other fine Logo books -- like Brian Harvey's Computer Science Logo Style, and one whose title I'm forgetting, by several authors, billing itself as for a particular Logo implementation but with lots of rather interesting projects like a basic proof assistant.
