Some small things:

1. The exceptions in section 14 should be ordered, for example by chapter.

2. Section 4 talks about "O(...) calls to the predicate". Before "proc"
was only referred to as a "procedure". Even clearer could be the following:
"O(...) calls to proc"

3. "construction procedure" in section 5.2: In most other places, this
is called a "constructor".

4. "(record rtd p3-1)" in section 5.2. record-rtd is unknown at this point.
It will be defined in section 5.4.

5. Example on p. 16. The meaning of r? and make-r can only be guessed.
Proposal: extend the define-record-type expression.

6. p. 19: "(record? obj)
Returns #t if obj is a record, and its record type is not opaque.
Returns #f otherwise."
The comma is indicating an unwanted grouping.
The preceding paragraph sounds like a contadiction to this definition
because I conclude from the preceding paragraph that the inspection of a
standard type implemented as an opaque record type _is_ possible. At least,
the preceding paragraph could be improved.
