Summary: Do it. Please.
Comment: This is an excellent book that deserves to be on your short list of books about modelling...especially beginners. It continually drives home the point that UML and modelling are means to end (working software), not an end by itself.
The author explains each UML diagram, with examples of how and when to use it. However, this is not a dry reference. He freely expresses his opinions and experience about how useful these diagrams are in the real world. How refreshing!
UML can be overwhelming for beginners. This book shows that it doesn't have to be.

Summary: Don't do it. Please.
Comment: Scott's other books are really good (like "Elements of UML Style"), but it seems that he decided to take a vacation with this one.
I had to use the previous version for class and hated it then for the hard-to-read text (incomplete, convoluted sentences, unclear examples, etc.), and it seems that not much has changed now.
Sure, he's updated to include AM, but if you're looking for a clear, understanable text for the beginner, you might look elsewhere. If you already know the material, this is probably not a good reference.
