Do you already have Design Patterns by Gamma and others?

If you don't understand it then there's no other book to be had that explains it better. You need the human touch, someone that explains it to you. Enter a course. Try a local university or community college.

To my knowledge there isn't any C++ book expanding on the GoF book. But you may find something though by checking out the Wikipedia entry,

I own a copy of "Head First - Design patterns" and it´s amazing though it doesn´t cover all patterns mentioned by GoF. Each pattern is covered by a separate chapter, starting with a non-pattern design and migrating that design step-by-step to a design using a specific pattern. Easy to read, easy to understand, and good examples.

Patterns covered in the book:
- Observer
- Decorator
- Factory
- Singleton
- Command
- Adapter
- Facade
- Template Method
- Iterator
- Composite
- State
- Proxy

Patterns not covered in the book:
- Bridge
- Builder
- Chain of Responsibility
- Flyweight
- Interpreter
- Mediator
- Memento
- Prototype
- Visitor

I strongly recommended Head First DP book.
