Which old book(s) should I buy for C++ learning?

My son has taken a workshop on C++ and would like to continue working on it.
I happen to see a few old books but wondering if they're too old that it may be of little value. Have C++ changed a lot since late 1990s as these books were published at that time frame.
These are the books:

Thanks for your advice.

i have the last one and its still relevant. very technical though. i know CaptainBlastXD has read the 3rd edition of the primer and has been recommending it to beginners. i have never heard of the second one. although if you get a book that doesnt teach c++11 i would use this as a reference guide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11
C++ Primer is pretty solid. I have a copy of my own and still reference it on occasion.

I do recommend getting a recent copy, though. The language has changed a fair amount since the late 90's.

$40 for a copy.
Thanks for the advice.
