I appreciate the effort but other than the play on Ed woods movie title, I'm not exactly sure what makes this book "quirky". Skimming through the first dozen pages available for free, it struck me as a relatively academic and dry treatise on scheme.
You will have to dive a little bit deeper. The S9fES described in the book is a tree-walking interpreter with decimal real-number arithmetic and a few other interesting (in an almost brutalist sense) design decisions. "Dry and academic" and "quirky" do not exclude each other, but you have to enjoy the subtle points and not expect to be hit over the head with superficial weirdness.
For example: Scheme 9 from Empty Space (http://t3x.org/s9book/), LISP from Nothing (http://t3x.org/lfn/), but also Write Your Own Compiler (http://t3x.org/t3x/book.html).
