You did a really nice job. The language needed a gentle intro.
Cesarini/Thompson book is excellent, aside from typo's but it's like drinking from a firehose. Good for people who like ruby, python, scheme DSL / metaprogramming tricks, challenging for everybody else.
One thing, can you give more vertical space between lines in source code listings (the bits in Courier font; also listing of shell/interpreter sessions). They're jammed tightly together in Firefox 3.0.14, winXP SP 3.
