Squeak / smalltalk beginners books

There is a dearth of smalltalk or squeak books at most of the bookstores  my area - Seattle - this is down from minuscule in the past few years. I am a permanent beginner when it comes to programming or rather an amateur. I do sometimes get more instructional value out of a book than wading through lines of source code - though I understand that this is one of smalltalk's strongest points: its self documenting ability. And so at the bookstores (Borders, Elliott Bay...) I see scores of book on PHP, Ruby, Ruby on the Rails, Python,  even Lua, as well as the usual suspects, java, _javascript_, Visual Basic and C/C++/C#. No smalltalk,no squeak. There used to at least be token representation. So I ask, where are the Squeak for Dummies, or some  animal covered smalltalk books pu
 blished by O'Reilly. This is really to the long-term detriment to the vitality of the language.
