    Take a look at "Inside Smalltalk", by LaLond and Pugh (of JOOP fame)
published by Prentice Hall.  I fond it a nice combination of the red
book (how do I work this thing) the blue book (what is all this stuff)
and more: sections that described the language in terms used in describing
other programming languages (pass by reference, binding time) which
are strangely lacking in other books on Smalltlak I've seen.
    In teaching a course on Smalltalk, I used the blue book and Pinson
and Weiner: I will use LaLonde and Pugh the next time round.
