Since this documentation does not include an introduction to the Eiffel
language, we recommend the following books:

Bertrand Meyer      - Eiffel The Language - second edition (Prentice Hall)
Robert Switzer      - Eiffel: An Introduction (Prentice Hall)
Thomas/Weedon       - Object-Oriented Programming in Eiffel (Addison Wesley)
Frieder Monninger   - Eiffel: Objektorientiertes Programmieren (Heise)
Giuseppe Callegarin - Nuovo corso di informatica (Cedam)

The examples in the last four books have been compiled and tested
with the Eiffel/S compiler (release 1.3). A few modifications may be
necessary in order go make the examples work with Eiffel/S 2.

beside this we suggest to read
Bertrand Meyer      - Object-oriented Software Construction (Rentice Hall)
                      (also available in French, Japanese, German ...)
