Well, Rumbaugh published his book in 1991 and has since joined up
with Rational together with Jacobson and Booch, publishing work
together in 1998/1999, so no matter how good it is, I suspect that
there will be little market left for it now...

I suspect that a lot of the OMT concepts are actually in the UML
anyway and so the mapping may be similar.
