Keywords: Addison-Wesley Introduction

I have recently received a mailing from Addison-Wesley advertising
"Computer Books for the Professional".  Included in the list of books
offered is the following (new):

	"An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and C++" by
	Richard Weiner and Lewis Pinson

	"An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and Smalltalk" by
	Lewis Pinson and Richard Weiner

There was an article in comp.lang.c++ that expressed disappointment in
the C++ book.

Has anybody read, or looked through, the Smalltalk book?  Could you
please provide me (and/or other net-readers) with your thoughts on the
book (accuracy, readability, usefulness, appropriate audience, etc.)?
How does it compare/contrast to the "Orange Book" (and/or "Blue Book")?

I'll be happy to summarize reviews to the net!

Thanks.
