* Smalltalk Objects And Design by Chamond Liu

* The Art of the Metaobject Protocol by Gregor Kiczales

Don't let the second one fool you. Although it is a Lisp book, it presents OOP design principles applicable to any language. As the Amazon review says: "The Art of the Meta-Object Protocol is useful for the advanced CLOS user as well as for anyone interested in object-oriented programming and language design."

Do you really think AMOP is suitable for a novice?
