Three books that were invaluable to me for catching a (for there are
many) spirit of smalltalk:
A Taste of Smalltalk (alas out of print)
Smalltalk-80: the language and implementation (in print as the
purple book)
Kent Beck's Best Practice Patterns.
Inside Smalltalk is also very useful, as is another book I can't remember
the name of.
I very much *like* the white and nuBlue books, but it's very hard for me
to tell how good a job then do on instilling a spirit of Smalltalk (in
addition to , or instand of, a spirit of squeak).

Heh.
cmd-n and cmd-m (browse senders adn implementors) are you friends! I
remember teh day that Dan Ingalls mentioned those key commands, my fluency
with the system skyrocketed.

I'm easy, I forgive at the drop of a hat. Cees, OTOH, Cees might want to
see some hair shirt time! :)
