I'm looking for a book that focuses on software design of larger applications.
I'm not looking for a book that describes design patterns or good OOP, but that shows how large applications can be designed.
I've found one called "Large-Scale C++ Software Design" that I'm about to order, but I need more =)

Books are all nice and dandy but you should also try to get your hands on a truly big legacy application. With those you have 2 possibilities:
- the good: app is well designed and well written. Lots to learn from it.
- the very good: app has no design and (usually) is poorly written. Lots to learn from it too. :D

Haven't see one so far. :D It's a mythologicall creature that might not exist. Lol, j/k. A very well designed and written library is WeiDai's Crypto++. I think the Open Source community can be a good source for such applications.
