C++ Books.

In one of my earlier posts, I asked the best place to learn c++ online. I was directed to books, as I figured. I was told to get "The C++ Programming Language", "C++ Primer/Primer Plus (5th edition)", "Effective C++", and "More Effective C++". After searching online, I found that these are expensive. Now my question is: which are indispensable? I figure that "The C++ Programming Language" is an essential, but what about the others? Or any other ones? I am strapped low on cash, and am looking for maximum bang for my buck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did you try the tutorial in on this site?
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/
Did you start from wiki and find some stuff?
The other issues of books at the moment is the new standard of c++ was just published last month. It will take time to cycle that into the main stream.
The most bang for the buck is the brute force method, since all the tools to program are free. If you need help bring your questions to this board. Experiment and success. Trial and error. When I learned to program there weren't many books written. It was super heavy technical manuals and reference sets and my creativity of what I wanted to do that got me to learn it.
