CRITICS AGREE:

"The definitive tome on Object-Orientation" "The finest piece of writing and thinking on this vast subject" "Compelling. Extremely well written and literate"

"Rigorous in approach, packed with quality, complete in coverage and occasionnally humorous, this book is on my list of reference shelf and will no doubt look bad after a while. But only the physical aspects such as covers and spine will be worn out. The ideas will live forever, at least in the context of the computer world."

"A definitive guide to object-oriented programming and design. Meyer has manages to create a book that covers virtually every aspect of the field; he has done so in a way that is very readable and that puts everything into context in addition to going into specific details. Highly recommended."
