For an Introduction to OODBs, I'd highly recommend:

http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-56341-X/

The book is out of print, but Amazon may still be able to get you a copy.

Alternatively, try this two part postscript report by Frank Manola:

ftp://ftp.gte.com/pub/dom/reports/MANO94a.pt1.ps ftp://ftp.gte.com/pub/dom/reports/MANO94a.pt2.ps

Hmm... you didn't mention OODBs here. Not exactly what you are after, but
I've done two books on OODB case studies:

http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/html.dir/98-book.html http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/html.dir/00-book.html

The latter page doesn't have much right now, but the book will be published in October and has a couple of chapters on Object-Relational. Both books contain contributions from people with hands-on experience and
contain lessons learned, architecture, design, etc. Have a look in a bookshop first.
