Hi all, An excellent book with clear examples is James Cooper's Java Design Patterns. You can find it in PDF format to download here : http://www.patterndepot.com/put/8/JavaPatterns.htm I think it is much more clear in explaining patterns and its examples are very good to improve learning patterns. I recommend it!
