Actually, the August 80 Byte was about Forth. But the August 1981 Byte
has been out of print for many years, and is about the only back issue
you can't get. They should reprint those articles as a book. I've just
lent mine, so this is from memory:
- there are some introductory articles and some on the philosophy of
the system and object oriented programming.
- there are articles about the graphical programming environment
( first look at cut/copy/paste for most people ), the graphic
prmitives ( first look at bitblt ) and drawing programs.
- the implementation is explained, as is an older version of
virtual memory.
- there is an excelent article on creating data structures in
Smalltalk, as well as one on creating control structures.

(i.e. if it is worth money to you to know about Smalltalk)
then you should get it. I was surprised to see so many
packages I didn't know about in it.
As they say about themselves:
The Smalltalk Resource Guide is the only Smalltalk-specific
directory o Smalltalk products and services. it includes
