I do not know whether these will be available at the NU Bookstore. If not, try the BU Bookstore, Quantum Books, the MIT/Harvard Coop, or your favorite online bookseller. Most of these books should also be on reserve at the NU Library.

• Felleisen, Findler, Flatt, Krishnamurthi How to Design Programs MIT Press, 2001 (This book should be at the bookstore)
• Dybvig, The Scheme Programming Language, 4th edition, MIT Press, 2003. This book is oriented to the Chez Scheme implementation of Scheme. Although we will be using PLT Scheme, The first portion of the book is still a decent reference for Scheme in general. This book is also available online.
• Friedman and Felleisen, The Little Schemer, 4th ed., MIT Press.
• Abelson & Sussman, The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, 2nd edition, MIT Press, 1996. (Also available online, but that's not half so nice, IMHO).
