wanted book recommendation for Object Oriented Programming

You might want to try _Squeak: Object-Oriented Design with Multimedia 
Applications_
by Mark Guzdial.  It was created as a textbook for a sophomore level course 
with students that had never done OO before.  It's pretty Squeak/Smalltalk 
focused, but does talk about more general principles of OO 
programming.  It's got nice, good-sized case studies for students to work 
on.  For some positive reviews, you can check out the amazon page at:
