I don't have my library to hand, and so will write in more general
terms:
I like the Booch book.
I didn't like the Yourden book until recently.
Bjarne S's "Design of C++" (or was that philosophy?) was the real
kicker for me.
While not exactly a question of OOD, design patterns are essential.
The Design Patterns patterns book by the gang of four is a humbling
godsend. Worship at its feet. Daily. Quite simply I'd question to
competance of any serious OO/Design patterns/Frameworks chap who
didn't own a copy. Email me directly at coder@ibm.net for the full
title, ISBN etc, its at home, not here.

The dragon book. Don't recall exact title but its a staple in the
field and deatures a large red dragon peering thru a monitor on the
cover,

The Stony Brook Algorithms book.
