Pedantic correction: The Language and Implementation version is the
*blue* book. The Blue Book is no longer in print, although the *purple*
book: Smalltalk-80 The Language is still in print (and you can get the
implementation chapters on the web) and it still a wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful read. It is beautiful to look at, a pleasure to read, and
deeply instructive.
