%T   "Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns"
 
This book is good, it's just kind of hard to define.  It is for experienced
Smalltalk programmers.  It is a collection of short pieces, describing common
problems in programming and advising on how to deal with them.  There is an
extensive effort to organize and link related problems.  The advice varies:
some is quite Smalltalk specific, some is generic advice that is of use
regardless of the language being used.  (Almost all sections are illustrated
with sample Smalltalk code.)  The format is generally that which is coming to
be associated with "patterns" in program design.
