Awesome. I have the original books. Get them if you can, they are absolutely worth the price if you are interested in virtual machine architecture or language design.

That's a nice HTML version. For those who don't yet know, scans of this and several other Smalltalk books (including all the famous ones, I think?) are available at http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html .

This is totally deflating the value of my blue books!

I will say tho, that there is still value in owning these books in paper. I swear it makes a difference in readability, comprehension, etc. I can vaguely remember something, open the book, and flip very close to it most of the time.

The blue book is one of the best computer books I own, hands down. I will always cherish it.

I seem to remember reading about the Dynabook and how it was put together.

I was fascinated by it and was wondering if I can use this document to help me...

The book can be downloaded in PDF format from http://www.acm.org/classics/

Found an error:

>Push, store, and jump bytecodes require only small changes to the state of the interpreter. Objects may be moved to or from the stack, and the instruction pointer is always changed;

How about if you jump to the current location of the instruction pointer? =P
