"Object-oriented Analysis and Design with Applications" by Booch is one
of the classic OO books. It is 10 years old and does not use UML for the
diagrams (it uses Booch, of course!), however, I did get a handy
UML/OMT/Booch chart with my copy which makes translation very easy. I
though this was en excellent book.

I *think* this is one of the original books on the subject (not sure if
the first edition pre-dates Meyer though, perhaps not?)

I wouldn't try to learn OOD from GoF. Return to GoF when you have a good
grasp of OO concepts and the UML (before anyone points it out I know GoF
is not UML, but it is close enough).
