Yes, but I'd borrow this one if you can rather than buy it.

I'd buy a copy if you can. I bought mine (1st edition) in 1992
and still refer to it several times a year. The notation has
now been superceded by UML but the principles of design are still
absolutely valid. I also prefer the first edition to the second
because it uses mnultiple OO languages whereas the second
focuses only on C++ (which was flavor of the day at the time).
