I would suggest the following (see below for info on obtaining the FAQ).
I've worked Valencia's tutorial - thought it was really well done.

	Andy Valencia has very graciously provided an extended
tutorial document describing the Smalltalk language with respect to
GNU Smalltalk.  It covers a wide variety of topics, and provides a
general introduction to object oriented programming concepts.

	You may FTP a copy from the usual GNU locations in a few days
(after it has propagated).  Currently, it may be found at:

    prep.ai.mit.edu: pub/gnu/smalltalk-tutorial.ps.gz  (PostScript)

-or-

    prep.ai.mit.edu: pub/gnu/smalltalk-tutorial.txt.gz  (ASCII)

Check it out -- this looks really good!
