You should add Diego Gomez Deck book "Programando con Smalltalk". It's in spanish so it may not be the most popular but I believe it's a very nice book (although somewhat old now).
It was the first smalltalk book I read and I learned the basics with it, so I'm very fond of this book :)
Regarding the book translations discussion I think translating books is very important. Even though you still need to understand english to code smalltalk I still like to read books in my language. If you get the infrastructure right I'm willing to help translating stuff to spanish in my free time.
Yes, It is!!! And the chapter I am translating of Pharo By Example, is at 50% since the last 5 months.....so if you want to help, you are more than welcome. We are 10 persons translating it.

I would also like to thank both ESUG for holding the contest and the
authors for their very valuable contribution to the community. While
Andreas does have a point about conflict of interest, it is unavoidable
due to the small size of our community (we had quite a bit of conflict
over this on squeak-dev last year, for example). It is like the small
town where the same guy is the sheriff, the auto repairman, the judge,
the fireman and so on.
About the list itself, I did a quick search on Amazon for "smalltalk"
and found these others:

I would say that the list is very reasonable without any of the above
books. Since I haven't read any of these nor the ones in the survey, I
won't be able to participate. But I find it great that people are still
taking the time to write new books.
