Free Systems Analysis and Design with UML
Where shall we begin? In short, this book is not written by people who know how to write well.
From the confusing layout and introduction, to the rather horrible quality of writing that leaves one trying to figure out where and how the authors got to where they are in describing what are in reality straightforward concepts.
I don't see how these writers can honestly have a good night's sleep knowing they've done such a terrible job with a rather simple topic. I've read text books on algorithms and data structures that read as easy as the back of a corn flakes packet.
There is no clear coherency or gradual build up/linkage from the hodge podge of systems analysis methodologies they describe to the Unified Process. They continuously mix and match terms and introduce them way before any definition is given. They leave a rather messy idea of where things are in the Unified Process and how they relate to each other as well as their relation to other methodologies which the authors continue to refer to ambiguously while "explaining" UP/UML.
To instructors: For goodness sake DO NOT USE this book! Write up your own material, it'll make more sense! This isn't rocket science.
My copy is ending up on eBay. A waste of $50.

I rented this book out for a college course I took and the results at the end of the year were not good. The class was interesting but the book was cryptic and provided very little insight on what it was trying to explain. There are paragraphs full of "fluff" where they could just explain the subject in a few sentences. To top it off, there were very little examples to help. Instructors, avoid this book at all costs for the sanity of your students.
