The 1st year computer science programming class at Waterloo is based on the 1st edition of this book. (Not sure why not the 2nd edition--the waterloo website says so. [1])
The authors of this book are some of the major folks behind the Racket programming language. Mattias Felleisen, Matthew Flatt, Robert Findler, Shriram Krishnamurthi.
You might recognize Shriram Krishnamurthi's name in the credits to PG's guide to Bel too [1]
I didn't really use this book much directly - when I took that class in 2012, I mostly learned via the lectures, lecture slides, and doing via the assignments. The book is probably sufficient and you can probably talk to other people about it via Racket subreddit, IRC, etc
