The ISBN is 0-8053-0091-0 Runs about $36. I have heard that Grady highly recommends this book :-) Honestly, it's a top notch book. Take your Schlaer/Mellor book and your Coad & Yourdon book, and use them for paperweights -- Grady's book makes them look amateur. Oh, one last comment: Grady's book is sprinkled with cartoons by Tony Hall...cartoons that cat lovers like myself love.
