Unfortunately, I don't think the above book was ever written. When
I attended a Smalltalk training course given by one of the Xerox development
people a year or two back, the tutor said that the book got as far as
one sheet of paper, and hadn't been taken further for a variety of reasons
(eg: not sure how to teach MVC, not sure if it is the right way of doing
it, most of the then current version of ST80 didn't use MVC, and would
be a big job to convert). 

Of course, I may be wrong and someone has finished it.
