UML Distilled (3rd Edition)

In September 2003, the 3rd edition of UML Distilled appeared. To keep up to date with the UML, you should get the new edition as it is compatible with the latest UML 2 standard. For people who have the 2nd edition, I will keep the errata for the 2nd edition available.

Errors in 18th and later printings
