Is the "Blue Book" still useful?

Thanks to all for the answers.
As I proceed I'm sure to have more questions.

Yes, the book is still very useful. I consider it a "standard"
reference for Smalltalk.
Nevertheless consider the following links too:

http://www.squeakbyexample.org/ - this gives you more updated info on
Squeak (like e.g. Monticello, Morphic).
http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html - a huge collection of
Smalltalk books.

Also I can suggest 'Purple Book' it is a newer version of a Blue one without description of the VM.

In reply to this post by Mateusz Grotek

"Discovering Smalltalk" by Wilf Lalonde is also another oldie but goodie IMHO.
