Well, conversely, I don't understand how anyone can not get a lot out of this series, I devoured every entry as a self-learner. No, they were not the only material I used to learn Scheme and recursion, but but I've never learned any concept from just one resource. It's an unorthodox format, I agree. But everyone has a different learning style. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you, but clearly it's worked for a lot of other people. i'm glad there's a massive range of learning materials for self-learners, so if one recommendation doesn't sit well, there's always more to try.
I would love to see experience from someone that has 0 knowledge and start with this book. And this is what people recommend as first book. I can understand if someone want to use this book when she already know Scheme. But the target for this book are complete newbies, which for them I would never recommend it.
For me personally best book about Scheme is Sketchy Scheme by Nils M Holm.
