Squeak by Example doesn't count as a book?
http://www.squeakbyexample.org/ 2008-03-10: The corrected, second edition is now available! You can also order a print-on-demand, softcover copy of the book.
Many people call Etoys as Squeak, but these are different thing: + Squeak is a implementation of Smalltalk language and its environment. + Etoys is application written in Squeak Smalltalk and integrated to Squeak environment.
Historically we (especially etoys community) have not been differentiating squeak and Etoys very well, that have been confusing. But now we use "Etoys" specifically, by this we would make it clear Etoys isn't tied to specific implementation technology.
The SQE is a book about Smalltalk language/environment, not about Etoys. So it seems the book isn't for Joe.
