At http://research.sun.com/self/papers/papers.html there are a bunch of papers about various aspects of Self.

At http://bracha.org/mirrors.pdf there's a paper about the principles behind mirrors (though I don't think it talks specifically about the details of Self's mirrors' interface).

You might find something useful at http://research.sun.com/self/teaching.html (though I'm not sure it's quite what you're looking for).

I'd also be happy to try to answer any specific questions you have about Self's mirrors, if I can.

Precisely, im interested in mirror object and API that it provides - i'm trying to implement xUnit infrastructure in Self
