 Brown et.al., Wiley, 1998
Even though Mowbray (one of the authors) used to strike me as singularly humourless (see Essential Corba), this book is fun to read. It's not, as I initially thought, an "anti-gang-of-four" book, but rather a description of patterns found in development teams, software designs and companies, that spell doom for projects. Just as the gang-of-four book classifies problems into patterns, which can then be used to apply design patterns to, this book classifies situations into patterns and tells you which ones you can solve, and which you can't. Or how difficult they will be.
