Hi richard

Another way would be for him to come at ESUG a friendly and small 
conference this year organized in Slovenia (3 hours from venice:) and 
meet all kind of smalltalkers and squeakers. Because there I'm sure 
that in a week he could get a ***lot***, even have his simulation. This 
is the last week of august in a beautiful country.

There are columns, Squeak quick ref for my next book and all kind of 
stuff.

and http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/WebPages/FreeBooks.html
for free online books
