Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides, published by Addison-Wesley in the Professional Computing Series. The book that gave the field the shared vocabulary of design patterns.

Twenty-three patterns are catalogued in a consistent format covering intent, motivation, applicability, structure, participants, consequences and implementation, grouped as creational, structural and behavioural patterns, with two extended case studies showing them in combination.

A standing reference for software engineers, and still assigned in object-oriented design and software engineering courses decades after publication.
