Not really. It appears to be roughly based upon Java's bondage-and- 
discipline OO model. The notable missing features are multiple  
inheritance, which precludes techniques like mixins, and the ability  
to add new methods at run time which would save needing to bodge it  
with a __call() method.

I've already got the Gang of Four book and ORA's PHP Nutshell book.  
What else does that book offer?
