Having a number of business-like examples like modeless and modal dialogs, controls, grids, etc. would be really great. This way people could easily start using Squeak at work. A book, "Business applications with Squeak" is needed.
I am sure you are right. However it seems the pointy-haired bosses (like me) seem to want to give users web applications for this purpose(*), which suggests to me that the publishing community might not follow your suggestion.
Have you looked for out-of-print books on the other Smalltalk-80 / ANSI Smalltalk dialects?

p.s. * For business apps for the web, see the documentation for your choice of a combination of AIDA/Web, Seaside, jQuery/MooTools/Prototype ... (The proliferation of books on Javascript UI libraries seems to suggest that in the minds of bosses and publishers, novelty is more important than usefulness or originality, though V8, SpiderMonkey, WebKit and IE9 have their role to play.)
