I have 1 suggestion to give. Don't start with one example<br>
on page 1 and grow it piece by piece up to page 100. <br>
Like so, the booklet can be used as a tutorial but looses all
effectiveness <br>
as a reference. <br>

<p>Yes it can be a downside of the one example thread all along the
book. However, note that for "The Cuis Book" we have distinct
chapters between the explained features and the Spacewar! example
thread. So one can read the book with a loose interest on the
Spacewar! thread. And we have a great index table to find valuable
information
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/Indexes.html">https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/Indexes.html</a>) I am a
big fan of index.<br>
</p>
<p>May be for the Layout, it will be easier to have many small
examples all along the chapters.<br>

As an example, I think the best document on GUI i found for
its balance <br>
between a tutorial and a reference is the New Mexico guide to
Tk. </font></font></blockquote>
<p>We can share informally idea here about the contents.</p>
