I have found the following three books to be very very very helpful to my
work.  They are (still!) my "go to" books when I have a C++ specific
question.  I highly recommend all three.  My background:  I made the
transition (ascention of learning curve) to a Win32-using-c++ programmer in
the 1995-1997 timeframe.  The "FAQs" book was my first c++ specific
purcuase, and it was a tactical success, as far as book purchases go-- it
had direct answers to several of my problems. Later, the Meyers books filled
in most of the blanks and gave me a better understanding of the language.

I do not use this book as reference for daily problems.   Rather, I consider
it a great read.
