In my knowledge.. SOA Design Patterns (The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl) will be a good book to read and is available in Amazon.
I would agree with one of the posters, Tomas Erl's books are a fantastic resource in their coverage of SOA patterns. In the first chapter, I do address what I consider to be some of the characterists of what constitutes a good services, but I don't go deeply into that. Instead, my book is more of a practitioners guide for how to use and integrate the various products I cover.
