Another new Squeak book

This book looks like it would be great for me.
I only read the info held at Amazon and the writing style seems a little
Mickey Mouse, which is probably very appropriate for Squeak on a few
different levels.
As soon as it's available I think I'll order it. Even if I've figured out
all the basics by then I think this book will nail them in place so that I
can really move on to more advanced programming.
At the moment I'm stuck gaining an understanding of traditional MVC so then
I can move toward the more flexible Morphic.
I'm so glad that people are publishing Squeak books though.
Regards
Patrick

I noticed in one of John Mc's OOPSLA trip reports that he mentioned
another Squeak book which I hadn't heard about before, entitled "Squeak: A
Quick Trip to ObjectLand", coming out in December.
See http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201731142
Does anyone know anything more about the book? It looks like it
might be an adaptation of an earlier "Quick Trip to ObjectLand" book, which
was based on Smalltalk/V. From the description, it might be a good
beginner-tutorial book.
Also, it doesn't look like it's discounted at all on Amazon right
now, so perhaps it's worth waiting or ordering it somewhere else.
