The BEST book for learning OO design 
When Grady Booch was espousing starting off with noun lists and static models and then creating the dynamic models and reconciling them against the static model ad infinitum, Larman proposed starting with the dynamic models and letting the static model flow from there. This book started me off in the right direction many years ago. Following Larman's approach you will design software that directly solves the problem, not a huge object framework that is usually outdated before it even gets completed. Flowing directly from the use cases, this methodology is a natural step towards service oriented architectures. And it's a very clear tutorial on UML to boot. .
Great textbook on Object Oriented Analysis and Design
It was the ideal textbook. I taught an Object Oriented Analysis and Design course at college using this book. No book on OOAD I know comes close to it. I think the negative reviews here were decieved by the title. This book doesn't teach UML and Patterns it teaches Object Oriented Analysis and Design. .
The Rosetta Stone for Applying UML
Although I had attended UML courses and read other OO and UML books, applying UML and gaining benefit from doing so seemed impossible until I read this book. This book is more about the identifying and satisfying the dependencies that are such stumbling blocks for new or naive practioners of OO design with UML. This book communicates something I never found in other OO/UML books I've read.
