Which book should I pick to improve my program designs/design patterns?

I want to learn about design patterns and from what I've seen the most recommended ones are the Gang of Four's Design Patterns and Head First Design Patterns.

Any good books out there for advanced concepts like lambdas, delegates, events etc?
