I'm reviewing this after some time, so I don't recall if I purchased this book "new" or "used", however, sometimes the used books are in better condition than the new. This book arrived in good condition and in a timely manner.

This is the gold standard, period. Yes, there are dozens of good books about use cases, but if you had to pick one, just one, then I would strongly recommend this over any other book. I bought this book in 2004 and have continuously used it as a reference. I have used this book to mentor new Business Analysts and those that new to use cases. If must choose a second book, then I'd recommend Writing Effective Use Cases, by Alistair Cockburn. Most other books

I recently had to do the use case modeling for a new system and found this book. I also looked at a book by Alistar (I believe that's the name of the author) but it looked to overwhelming compared to this book. This book is easy to read and you can start creating your model right away and add more complexity as you read. It includes partial examples of use cases for a system in the appendix but have full ones in their website. One thing I wished they had gone deeper into is the use case 'extensions'. They do mention them but in a very limited way.
