I started with Squeak when I was using the book - most of the examples are universally applicable, until you get to the chapters on graphics/windows. But by then you're comfortable enough with the language to be able to just read through those and understand what's going on.
I should've mentioned that, after downloading the free pdf versions of the first two books, I bought them and the others on Amazon. (The last book I discovered in a university library!) Paper copies are great!

Thanks for the info on Smalltalk, Objects, and Design, by Chamond Liu I finally found a pdf version online Just into it. I prefer his type of writing with a great deal of background and examples. I'm project less and will follow Chamond's lead. Did you actually use IBM Small talk when using the book?
Thank You Paul
