...which teaches Scheme? I just can't find one! It's like nobody even uses Scheme or writes a famous book about it.

I'm confused.
Is this trolling or a serious question?

Troll detected.

The Book doesn't teach Scheme. It is just a language it uses as a material. You'll know advanced Scheme after reading it, but you still won't know what is e.g. call/cc.

call/cc is like an inferior GTFO instruction.

The Book says explicitly it's not meant to teach Scheme. He might have read just the first two pages or so.
