I would buy the "Early History of Smalltalk" book in a heartbeat. If you write software for a living and have not read that Alan Kay essay, take tomorrow and go read it. You won't regret it!
I'm surprised, though, that he missed perhaps the most obvious title along these lines: "Lambda the Ultimate"!
