Good references covering Smalltalk-80

There's a recent ('97) book entitled "Smalltalk by Example" by Alec Sharp
which would presumably contain a lot of examples, although I haven't read
it myself. It's available at amazon.com, although you may want to flip
through it at a bookstore first.
Also, for a step-by-step tutorial with examples, it's hard to beat the
tutorial which came with Smalltalk/V (now Smalltalk Express, only
available for Windows). The concepts carry over to other Smalltalks quite
well. (Although it would be great if there were a tutorial this good
available for Squeak.) The tutorial is on the web at:

(Smalltalk Express is also available for free from objectshare.com.)
