If you are just starting out, I recommend "Beginning C++ through Game Programming" It's a good book.

I personally like the deitel&deitel programming books. Useful for the beginner, but still a good reference years later due to their massive size and content. I haven't had a chance to look at he O'reilly C++ books, but judging from the perl one they should be quite good. You can't go wrong with "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup either  Ebay is a great place to buy books at. You can get them so much cheaper than retail! |

PC==perfect_companion Knowledge cannot come packaged and predigested; it must be chewed over carefully before swallowed. What have you tried? |

C++ coding standards is good book I think.
And download "Thinking in C++: Volumes 1 and 2" by Bruce Eckel. They're available at his site. You can probably google it too.
Deitel, like ih8censorship said, would also be good books.

It's always a good idea to check the reviews at ACCU before buying a book. If it gets a peer reviewed thumbs up, you know it's technically sound, there's far too many which are pre-standard and pretty much worthless nowadays. |

Assuming you're not a complete beginner to programming. Ok, i'm getting one intermediate book, and one begginer's, put i'm kinda deciding which begginer to get:
Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example.

A young man came to interview a bank president,
"Tell me sir, how did you become successful?"
"Two words."
"And what are they, Sir?"
"Right decisions."
"How do you make right decisions?"
"One word... experience."
"How do you get experience?"
"Two words."
"And what are they?"
"Wrong decisions."

Learning C++ through game programming is very nice. It's how I learned C++, but it only teaches like, the bare minimum you need to know, and a little bit more. There are a few things that it doesn't teach that you should know.
