Yes, I read this book several months back when we were starting up
a new project (called Yo = Ynot).

The book is interesting, but not really a recommender except to people
who would like to apply OO techniques to database design.  It is
surprising the amount of overlap between relation DB theory and 
object-oriented theorys. 

The book basically hand holds you through some cute examples of
OO problem analysis.  The second hafe of the book is a suggested
documentation style to use with OO techniques.   It was this later
part of the book that interested me.

Anyways, off the top of my head I would rate the book 7/10.  A must
for and DP shop, but optional for any body who has already a backround
in OO techniques.
