Very nicely done indeed, thanks for doing this. I particularly enjoy reading the "Chapter summary" sections, I still find myself learning or relearning something each time I do that.

Thanks to everyone involved in the process of getting the latest Squeak by Example published. As a part-time Squeaker, I rely on documentation to help me when I am trying to make things work and SBE is a good starting point!
