That's actually a distinct version using Javascript. Probably a good addition to the list, but I haven't read it.

Thanks, and welcome to free-programming-books! SICP is THE book that people ask about when I mention free-programming-books, so it's very important that we keep our link up to date. I think we have versions for several programming languages and several written languages already.
