This book heavily focuses on VisualWorks 2.5 and some "features" only
available in VW.
I don't think that book would be of any use for someone who wants to learn
Smalltalk.  On the other hand, if you're looking for ways to customize VW,
to create packaging tools,  to create test tools, etc, that book is the one
you need.  But as I said, the examples in the book are not (in most cases)
translatable to Squeak
