We have these 3 at the office. I've read the first two. I think my
thoughts on all 3 are old news.

This might be interesting and a change of pace. The only thing that
scares me is Stroustrup's writing.

Corey has looked at this book, and while it's quite good, it's another
"reference" type book. So unless he says otherwise, I'll give it a
thumbs down.

I've heard this is a very good book.

You had me going for a second there. ;-)

I'd also be tempted to throw in "C++ Templates", but I haven't had a
chance to look at it yet so I'm a bit hesitant to recommend it too
strongly. I'll try to look at it this weekend, but no promises.
