I've seen mention of several Squeak books here on the list and on 
c.l.s., but I want to know which one(s) would be a good fit for me.  I 
looked at reviews on Amazon.com and it wasn't obvious, based on my 
skills and current needs.

I am currently employed as a Smalltalk developer and have a decent grasp 
of Smalltalk, specifically the VisualWorks flavor.  I've also done a lot 
of other programming, including Perl, PL/SQL, VB, C/C++, and others.

I want to build a multimedia PC for my home and have a Squeak-based 
frontend to control it.  The only display will be my television and the 
only input will be a remote control, presumably with an arrow pad (left, 
right, up, down) and not a mouse or trackball.  I want it to be the 
following: an MP3 jukebox, an answering machine, a tv tuner and PVR, a 
video (i.e. MPEG, DiVX, WMA) library, and an app launcher for games. 
 I'll be making this freely available, by the way, and would be glad to 
have help if anyone is interested.

Can anyone recommend which Squeak book to buy?  Projects that may have 
attempted this type of thing?  Caveats about my dream system?  Thanks!
