Looking for a Good Book on OOP for PHP

OOP had me scratching my head, even after a lot of reading. But once you start using it, it clicks.

All the books I have explain the basics of classes in about 2 pages. If you try to just keep reading past that without understanding the basics and actually using it, you will only find yourself confused.

PHP Freaks has a tutorial on it, which is good at explaining it, but I don't think the examples are very good.

To answer your question though, out of my books, I like the OOP chapter in "Advanced PHP Programming" by George Schlossnagle. The examples are easy to understand, yet they don't skimp on showing what classes really do.
