I'll look into it.

I do feel I have a grasp of the concepts and the UML in GoF wasn't too
difficult. That said, I wholly agree with you. GoF shows best practice
in a selected few concrete examples. I'm more in need of a basic
understanding of what constitutes good and bad design, the way you
combine and use the concepts of OO to make better software.
