The book is out of print but occasionally available on the used book
market. There is an on-line version of the chapters you are looking
for here:

Stephane Ducasse provides a large collection of on-line books and videos.
Follow the "documentation" links from www.squeak.org.

As for the *.st formatted files for Squeak, it's already there, except
that it has been put into a separate package (VMMaker) that you have to
install from SqueakMap.

If you want a version that is close to whatever was originally typed
in from the Blue Book, get the oldest Squeak image and VM that you
can find on the net. I don't know what's still out there, but any
number of folks on this list probably have old copies laying around
on hard drives if you need them.
