That is indeed a very good book, a big step above a plain introduction. But the best book is actually Andrés Valloud's "A mentoring course on Smalltalk" - I can guarantee you it will blow your mind ;-)
The cool thing about Pharo/Smalltalk is that once you get the basics (minimal syntax, new approach to development) out of the way, it is all about content after that.
