Good book on object oriented design?

Hi ALL, I'm starting to refresh my skill set with Smalltalk using the VisualWorks environment. Anyway, I'm wanting to go a little deeper as far as object oriented design. Thus, does anyone have good recommendation(s) for a good book on object oriented design? BTW, I have the following two excellent books:

Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns

Design Patterns

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad

I liked “Smalltalk, Objects, and Design” by Chamond Liu

I think that the answer depends somewhat on the nature and size of the project and design team. For smaller projects and teams I think that Extreme Programming books offer an interesting approach to explore, especially for Smalltalk.

Re: Good book on object oriented design?

“Smalltalk, Objects, and Design” by Chamond Liu is a great book, and
it is easy to get. It is more conceptual, and less about a particular
Smalltalk dialect.

The XP books are good about a process to follow, but not really about
design. XP goes great with Smalltalk, since it was more or less
invented on Smalltalk projects.

Ivan, I'm more concerned about the design process. For example, using the SOLID rules for constructing good object models. At this point, I'm clear on the TDD (i.e. red, green, refactor). Also, I'm familiar with principles of using DRY during the refactoring process. Now, I would like to start going a little further by applying the SOLID principles.

+1 again for “Smalltalk, Objects, and Design” - it was the first one that came to mind when I saw your question - easy to get from Amazon
