I wrote a card game (Ambition) back in 2003 and I'm considering OSing the rules to that, in Scala. That might be a better read for intro Scala because the space (in a card game) is more closed. This is more abstract, with the NodeT's and EdgeT's.
this is complete text of 1st edition, written for scala 2.7. Probably about 1/4 of the text is unchanged between editions, maybe less, but will give you good feel for writing style, depth of coverage.

Thank you.

Odersky's Scala book, by the way, is really good.
Which book? Could you edit in a link? Thanks!

The 2nd edition is an excellent learning and language survey resource. Also, the books' index is superb.
