Good book on C++?

[ofnuts]

Looking for a good book on C++, usable by two different people:

Me, who did a lot of C++ programming 10 years ago: more like a memory refresh and reference.
My son, who knows some C, so some introduction on OO would be nice.

I used to have an early edition of the Stroustrup, but can't find it and it could be a bit outdated by now.

Any recommendations?

You can try going to your local library, they probably have several C++ books. I would just try skimming through a few to see if any seems like the right book for my level and needs.

I learned C++ almost entirely from books in my college library, although I had to read more than one book as all of them would explain some concepts well and others not so well.

Programming: principles and practice using C++ was what I learned from, although I freely admit I'm terrible at C++. linky

Read the standard and a book from the creators.

For my purpose i found Numerical Recipes: The Art of Scientific Computing a good book

I've bought this book for learning C++: The C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition.

I read the original Ada reference manual (ANSI/MIL-STD 1815A, I still have it) in the early 80s. That was a very good bedtime reading...
