This book is somehow outdated. Still, many of the patterns described here make sense today. The strength of this book is the "pattern level" expression of the text: it's very efficient and is relevant to outline the essence of an architcture instead of its technical implementation. That's why the text is much less outdate than it could be. A number of new design ideas and architectures appears during the last decade: an update of this book could capture them.

interesting presentation of the patterns and a great prós and cons discussion.
