Title: verbose, simplistic, useless
Product review: I do not know who will benefit from reading this book.It is not a concise catalog of patterns. The patterns described are too obvious and simple.The "anti-pattern" example is ludicrous.The "telecom" patterns were too obvious. I was surprised that Coplien, for whom I have high respect for writing "advanced C++", contributed to some patterns. It seems that the author of the book was trying to fill in the pages somehow. I am an experienced developer. This book is almost useless to me. I am not certain how useful it is to other people like managers, students, etc.
