You''d better stop by the gym too, Name. It''s a BIG book.

personally I think those Sams books suck. The best C++ books I ever read are "Essential C++" (Stanley Lippman) and "Accelerated C++" (Koenig and Moo). The series is edited by Bjarne Strostroup and is probably the closest thing to an official set of texts on learning C++. They are suited to a beginner, though they presume basic knowledge of programming in general (memory management etc.) and jump straight into using the Standard Template Library to make your life easier instead of messing about with old C libraries and stuff. They really teach C++ and not C-with-classes which is more the style of the Sams books.
