I recommend Object-Oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer
(disclaimer: I read the first edition long ago and don't actually know
the second edition. But it is the best introduction to OO I know of).

Oh, it's good, but TERSE?  It's 1252 pages in the 2nd edition (which
I own and like).  300-pages books tend to be _read_ much more
than over-1000-pages tomes...
