For what it's worth, the second edition of How To Design Programs drops the imperative programming[1] and is available online[2]. I can't comment about the pandering though.

Is that just the first few chapters of the 2nd ed?

Many chapters after that one are just blank.

Yeah, I'm not sure. That's the "unstable" version, and it looks like some of the chapter's are missing (everything after part 6).
