I was just surfing the Internet for the same purpose and found very good reviews on Amazon for this book:

A Complete Guide to Programming in C++
Ulla Kirch-Prinz (Author), Peter Prinz (Author)

Maybe you pick another book for plain beginners as well and take the one above to get further into the language.

Be careful with Amazon user reviews. Beginners are not able to spot
technical deficiencies and bad programming styles found in these kinds
of books. If they feel they learned something and were happy with the
style of writing, they tend to give a books a high rating even if the
book in question is considered bad or even harmful by professionals.
It's a shame that one of the popular and best selling C++ books at
amazon.de is one of those that are not worth the paper they are
printed on.

It appears that book has been published over a decade ago. The language has
changed a bit since those days. Additionally, that book is a bit obscure,
and in spite of having been published over a decade ago this has been the
first time I ever heard of it. Are you sure the book is any good?

Like psr I would like a recommendation of a good book on C++.
Sadly he has received only negative replies.

If you're a beginner, you don't want to know about the advanced books.
Forget about those for a while. Meanwhile:

Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++
Bjarne Stroustrup
Addison-Wesley Professional
1 edition (29 December 200

I haven't read it myself (since I'm neither a beginner nor a book
reviewer) but he writes well, knows the language, knows how to use it.

The accu.org reviews are also helpful, if they still exist.

I've just downloaded a free pdf of it and given it a run through. It is
beautifully presented. I don't fancy printing all 1200+ pages and I prefer
hard copy anyway but at £40 plus ...

Thanks for the pointer. Regards, Alan

Free, or pirated?

Yeah, programming books are expensive compared to much other literature.
Compare with the price of a decent hard disk instead, or the price of
a commercial C++ compiler.

Or the price of one billable hour, which for me is much more
than the price of one good reference text.

To the OP: You can find helpful book reviews here.

I think it was from here:

http://www.4shared.com/document/DsEm...es_and_Pra.htm

but I founds this first:

http://www.plentyofebooks.net/2012/1...-practice.html

and it seemed legit. No one in their right mind is going to print 1200 plus
pages in full colour anyway. I only wanted check if it seemed worth spending
£40 quid given that mine is not a long term career interest and having now
seen it, I think that it is. I always try to 'try before I buy'.
However 'progress' is causing huge numbers of bookshop closures so what is
the alternative?
