I liked "C++ Nuts and Bolts for Experienced Programmers" by Herbert Schildt. ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846 ). It says it's for experienced programmers, but I found a little C know-how was plenty.

I bought a book a few years back called C++ Primer Plus , The book is out on loan to a friend but I believe the Publisher was the waite group press.. Probably the best book I have read on the language.
I assume its just another edition of C++ Primer if so you, I dont believe you would be sorry with either of those books |

from what i've read, stroustrup's "the c++ programming language" is probably a good option.

I have the C++ programming language. It's an excellent reference for every part of C++.

Have you also thought of going to a university library? If you live near a university or even a city college, you're surrounded by a stockpile of free books.
Not only do you get excercise both physically and mentally but you can, as perverted as this may seem to some people, look at some sexy women. |

 The uni library is 5 mins down the road, but you can only take books out for 5-10 days and they are very funny about fines (my housemate got a 3 year BAN for not paying a £10 fine!!!), plus with summer coming they tend to shut down. I want a book that i can use at home, although i didn't think of going to have a read thru a few books and see which are the best ones. I was also thinking of buying a tutorial style book (C++ Primer) and a refernce book, something like C++ programming language. Good idea or pointless? nez

I use TC++PL as a reference. It does a good job of outlining the standard and explaining every part of it well. The only problem I've run into is that Visual C++ isn't completely standards-compliant, and neither is G++, so a few of the things in there are inapplicable. But only 2 things that I've run into so far.
