Smalltalk by Example, by Alec Sharp

At http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/, there are 3 PDFs containing the complete text of the book: - SmalltalkByExampleNewRelease.pdf <http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/SmalltalkByExampleNewRelea...> - SmalltalkByExampleON2.pdf <http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/SmalltalkByExampleON2.pdf> - SmalltalkbyExMissingChapter27.pdf <http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/SmalltalkbyExMissingChapte...> I am very confused. Which one is the canonical version? There is no explanation anywhere about these PDFs.

Dear Kenneth, At first sight it seems that the last one (smalltalkbyexmissingchapter27) is more complete (table of contents included). I did buy the paperback version on AbeBooks.com Regards, Pierre Bulens De : Esug-list [mailto:esug-list-bounces@lists.esug.org] De la part de Richard Kenneth Eng Envoyé : November 23, 2018 5:29 PM À : esug-list@lists.esug.org Objet : [Esug-list] Smalltalk by Example, by Alec Sharp At http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/, there are 3 PDFs containing the complete text of the book: * <http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/SmalltalkByExampleNewRelea...> SmalltalkByExampleNewRelease.pdf * <http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/SmalltalkByExampleON2.pdf> SmalltalkByExampleON2.pdf * <http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/ByExample/SmalltalkbyExMissingChapte...> SmalltalkbyExMissingChapter27.pdf I am very confused.

I did. The contents offer no clue as to their relevancy. It is impossible to conduct a meaningful "diff" on the three pdf files. On Sat, 24 Nov 2018 at 07:18, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> wrote:

if there are all the chapters than be happy and say thank to the guy that spent his free time making sure that this book is available on online. You see life is simple. Stef
