Wiley's Teach Yourself C++
The book I really learnt C++ from was 'Wiley's Teach Yourself C++'. I've picked up a lot of details on here since, but in the beginning that was the book that really did it for me. On the other hand, the reviews on Amazon aren't all that great.
Out of curiosity, I just wondered if anyone else has used this book, and what you think of it?

816 pages. I am wary of people who are unable (or have hidden reasons not) to simplify their thoughts. I can appreciate a book of 250 pages or less; its terseness usually being a guarantee of purity.

Fully, fully agree. Hence why I LOVE K&R!

If you would like an easy to read, core C++ language "book" which isn't full of concepts and extra bloat. The one on this site holds its own, only takes a day to read. Makes for a great reference too. It may require a little bit of programming knowledge, but thinking of programs to apply the things in the book solidifies it into your mind.

The number of pages a book has, has little to do with the quality of the information presented within and is a poor guide to the usefulness of it.
I agree with CodeMonkey. Some book publishers are richer than others so they provide glossy images diagrams etc to fill a thick book. I do like some of those images though. It is like I can take a breather before digesting the book highly technical materials :P
Maybe I can suggest to book publishers to put some women images hahahaha... instead of animals and plants huh ? :P

This book doesn't have any pages pictures. It is just very long.
@sohguanh Depends on how explicit you want the images. I don't want to show an ID to buy a C++ book ^^
(EDIT: Look under the strikethrough. When I saw what I'd written first type round, I literally lol'd.)
