The Smalltalk/V book is an excellent introduction to Smalltalk.
It is also extremely well organized. 
The Smalltalk-80 books I've seen are poorly organized by comparison.

Nevertheless, Smalltalk/V is not exactly the same as Smalltalk-80 and
the book is small, so it cannot cover the advanced topics in detail.
