new Object Oriented Design book

[Dave Yost]

You may remember a while back a gentleman
dropped a little note in the C++ news group
about an OO language called Eiffel.  When
I checked into it (the language is indeed
interesting), I found out that he wrote a
book on OO design that has just come out.

I've read 3 1/2 chapters so far, and it's
good, probably great, stuff.  The book starts
out with a wonderful survey of the pitfalls
of non-OO design, with many historical
references and examples, and moves into an
exploration of the principles and techniques
of OO design, using Eiffel as the notation.

The book is
