Enterprise Integration Patterns

A couple of weeks ago I read this excellent book: Enterprise Integration Patterns : Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions. Gregor Hohpe, Bobby Woolf provide us with 65 patterns (in the manner of the classic Design Patterns). Each pattern shows one typical problem in integrating applications, and how it is solved. Each pattern gives enough implementation details so it is clear how it would work, and an example or two so it is clear how it works in practice.
Even if nothing was new for me I just love very much the clarity of the book and the pattern icons that are very pretty and useful to communicate! I am wondering if somebody as done some UML libraries with them?
Definitely a must have for system integrators that want to embrace the bright side of asynchronous communication.
I am now reading Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture from Martin Fowler. Those guys from ThoughtWorks are definitely working hard!
