C Books and C++ Books You Don't Want 14 years ago
Best c++ book is "The c++ programming language" by Bjarne.
I own the 3rd special edition: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/C-Programming-Language-Speci...
and have pre-ordered the 4th edition which includes c++11 info: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/C-Programming-Language-Bjarn...
I've only probably read like 5 c++ books, but this one kills all the others for explaining how things work, teaching good programming style, and giving you a great all round understanding.
