Title: RE: EJB naming conventions?
Actually it has 3.5 stars which is quite good for a book with 31 reviewers.  If you read the comments, it is mostly either 1-2 stars or 5 stars.  This usually indicates that the intended audience was not clearly conveyed.  Almost all the 1-2 stars were from people who were complaining, "but I already know this...."  As I recall from the introduction, it is geared toward beginning to intermediate developers (those who know the syntax).
I have not read Coad's book, I consider myself "advanced developer", so do I understand
I should not buy it?
As to your recommendation, Coad's book is an excellent book on design _not_ design patterns (ala PLOP or GoF).  Patterns in Java is a good book (well, the first one is at least), but covers a different set of information.  Coad's book is more like Java In Practice or Java 2 Performance and Design Idioms.

I did not really pretend to compare both books, they cover different ground,
I had not read Coad's book, and I like Grand's book.

(BTW, I like what Microsoft is doing with XML/SOAP/RDS/ADO/HTC/HTA/... and other asorted TLCs)

As I recall, Peter Coad had a nice summary of the advantages of using the "I" prefix for interfaces in Java Design:

From what I see at Amazon this book seems to have really terrible reviews...
I like "Patterns in Java" by Mark Grand
