I use it as a wrist rest next to my mouse

Rational software ships this book free when you buy Rational Rose. Even then it is overpriced. If you don't know UML, this book may lead you astray. The author tells you how to draw things with Rational Rose, but not why you might want to draw them. Without a doubt, the worst UML book I've ever encountered. I feel sorry for the author; it seems that she (?) was probably tasked by Rational to write a user's manual for Rational rose, and someone at Rational thought they could make some more money by publishing it as a separate book. Unfortunately, it's insufficiently thorough to be a worthwhile user's manual.
