BEST book for UML and OOP?

[David Crossett]

What is the BEST book (I mean, MOST often agreed upon) for learning proper how to diagram code (that's using UML, right? Like when you document a database and it's relationships? I have a book on just relational database design - are these two different types of UML or would I benefit from re-studying that?)? Also, I'd like this book to cover class design and 'best practices'. It doesn't have to be about Java (although that would help). I REALLY want to learn OOP right the first time, and want to make sure that I'm designing even my simple programs correctly and to standard. And I'd like to be able to read and produce diagrams (again, I want to say UML?) of code.
Thank you all!!
P.S. Anyone read 'UML for the Java Programmer' by Robert Martin? Any comments?

When I was in the university, I used to use the book named "UML and the Unified Process: Practical Object-Oriented Analysis and Design" of Jim Arlow. And until now, I'm still using that book, if I got some doubt on UML concept to be applied to my Java codes...
I have read other books like
"The Unified Modeling Language User Guide" of Grady Booch and "Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and the Unified Process (2nd Edition)" of Craig Larman
But I like Jim Arlow's book the most and it will be my reference in the future as well...
All above are just my opinions...
