UML is just a notation for oo design.
You might want to look for recent oo design books and
you'll find these use UML anyway.
My top 2 consist of
Design Patterns by Erich Gamma ea
Refactoring by Martin Fowler
The UML specs can be downloaded from www.omg.org
Quite readable if you go straight for the diagram types.
Lots of examples explaining how things work, and free.

Go to amazon.com and search Books for the word UML. (I'm not suggesting
that you purchase your book on amazon.com; I am just suggesting that you
survey the different titles, ratings, and reviews there.)
I have the Page-Jones book--which is okay, but I hear that the Fowler book
is better. Ironically: being that Fowler is an XP proponent, he only
advocates UML as a means of communication during design sessions; he makes
no recommendations of maintaining UML documentation over the lifetime of the
project.

The first book was very helpful for me.
The second book has a good chapters about when to use certain UML
diagrams.

be overkill if you're just starting out with UML. Pick up Design Patterns,
get used to the UML diagrams they use in there, then take a look at this
one.

New books avairable and I think they are better than popular UML and pattern
books. However none of them is talking about Delphi though.
UML A Beginner's Guide
Jason T. Roff, McGraw Hill
SCHAUM's OutLines UML
McGraw Hill
Applying UML and Patterns
Craig Larman, Prentice Hall PTR
They are, to me, more practical than just theory.
