I already read the book you mentioned. But I do want more profound one, which should cover the areas which is civered in SICP; from basic programming elements to the machine/system(virtual one) construction, which is the reason I think SICP is the one of the best book for educating programmer(like TAOCP).
Thank you.

there is a book by Gene Korienek et al., entitled "Squeak: A Quick Trip to Object Land" (ISBN 0201731142). It is written in dialogue style (a bit like the "The Little Schemer" book by Friedman/Felleisen) and actually is an introduction to OOP, where Squeak is used as the language/environment of choice. Given that the book was published in 2002, the version of Squeak used therein is not very recent (3.0, I think).
There are others, of course, but this one seems to be close to SICP when it comes to comparing the approaches. It does not go as far as SICP, though, in terms of the complexity of the examples.
Best,

The Blue Book (Smalltalk - 80, The Language and its Implementation) is probably closest.
