You should add Diego Gomez Deck book "<a href="http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/Programando/ProgramandoConSmalltalk-BORRADORFINAL07-Febrero-2006.pdf" target="_blank">Programando con Smalltalk</a>". It's in spanish so it may not be the most popular but I believe it's a very nice book (although somewhat old now). <div>
<br></div><div>It was the first smalltalk book I read and I learned the basics with it, so I'm very fond of this book :)<div><br></div><div>Regarding the book translations discussion I think translating books is very important. Even though you still need to understand english to code smalltalk I still like to read books in my language. If you get the infrastructure right I'm willing to help translating stuff to spanish in my free time.</div>
<div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, It is!!! And the chapter I am translating of Pharo By Example, is at 50% since the last 5 months.....so if you want to help, you are more than welcome. We are 10 persons translating it. <br>

</div></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">I would also like to thank both ESUG for holding the contest and the<br>
authors for their very valuable contribution to the community. While<br>
Andreas does have a point about conflict of interest, it is unavoidable<br>
due to the small size of our community (we had quite a bit of conflict<br>
over this on squeak-dev last year, for example). It is like the small<br>
town where the same guy is the sheriff, the auto repairman, the judge,<br>
the fireman and so on.<br>

About the list itself, I did a quick search on Amazon for "smalltalk"<br>
and found these others:<br>

I would say that the list is very reasonable without any of the above<br>
books. Since I haven't read any of these nor the ones in the survey, I<br>
won't be able to participate. But I find it great that people are still<br>
taking the time to write new books.<br>
