W. Gray (I think he is the father of Theo Gray, the creator and developer of Mathematica's Front End). There is a chapter on OOP in Mathematica, Meader's package is explained and used to create a object oriented approach to GraphTheory. I have never had the slightest liking for this approach and I prefer the Combinatorica package by far, but the book is very good. There have been at least two editions but I have no idea if it is out of print or not. Andrzej Kozlowski
