Now on CD, this internationally acclaimed bestseller is more valuable than ever! Use the contents of the CD to create your own design documents and reusable components. The CD contains:
First published in 1995, this landmark work on object-oriented software design presents a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to common design problems. Created by four experienced designers, the 23 patterns contained herein have become an essential resource for anyone developing reusable object-oriented software. In response to reader demand, the complete text and pattern catalog are now available on CD-ROM.
The authors first describe what patterns are and how they help you in the design process. They then systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. All patterns are compiled from real-world examples and include code that demonstrates how they may be implemented in object-oriented programming languages such as C++ and Smalltalk. Readers who already own the book will want the CD to take advantage of its dynamic search mechanism and ready-to-install patterns.
The authors are internationally recognized experts in the object-oriented software field.

Design Patterns CD: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, (CD-ROM)
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the concept of a design pattern is just this side of bogus.
Part of the issue is that the languages the industry has chosen have weak powers of abstraction and thus these patterns seem necessary. Perhaps it's becoming a cliche (or became one 10 years ago?), but I'm sure some haven't yet been exposed to this thought: in a decent language like Lisp, most of these design patterns are trivial. The patterns are only there to make up for the problems with the languages of choice.
For me another issue is that the idea of design patterns is firmly linked in my brain with absurd Java APIs that require me to deal with XYZManagers and ABCHandlers and twenty different classes all for something that anyone sane would have just provided a handful of simple functions for.
On the other hand, this post by Richard Gabriel is interesting:
Perhaps design patterns are worth looking into after all, just not in this book.
