Is this available as a download, i.e. not reading online at MIT's
website?
I have heard this has something to do with Lisp or Scheme, is that
right?
Thanks,
James

As a single package no.
Since you are a MS user get a package called winhttrack ( or sometimes
httrack ).
It's meant for mirroring web sites. Just set external links to 0
first.

It uses scheme as its inline example language to illustrate important,
fundamental, computer programming concepts. What it teaches is generally
applicable. It's _not_ a book that is directly intended to teach you
scheme as it is today though you will pick up most of scheme from it by
"osmosis" anyway.
(in particular, the 1996 edition won't tell you much about macros, R5RS
hygienic macros or otherwise, just on page 373 mentioning the possibility
for user-defined derived syntax by macros, and saying "There has been much
research on mechanisms for macro definition that do not cause these [name
conflict] difficulties" in the footnote.).
