Book Review: BookTwo of Object Oriented Knowledge: The Working Object

In 1992, Brian Henderson-Sellers published A Book of Object-Oriented Knowledge, which became known by the self-referential acronym BOOK. Now, Henderson-Sellers has teamed with Julian Edwards to write a larger work with a correspondingly larger self-referential acronym. With almost 600 pages, BOOKTWO is a kind of encyclopedia of the ObjectOriented approach of building systems, composed roughly of three sections: first, an overview of the field of Object Oriented Software Engineering, then, a detailed description of the authors' MOSES methodology, and finally, a discussion of management issues.
