A:
Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel. Since you are good with C, you might want to skip some parts from volume 1. Btw, book is completely free which is another advantage :)

The 3rd edition of Effective C++ is a serious upgrade. If you've only read the 2rd edition you should get the 3rd edition.

Meyer's books assume that you know the basics of C++, not the best books to learn the language.

Already suggested by an earlier poster. Tip: Wait until you have five votes and deleted it and get the "Diciplined" badge ;-)

Accelerated C++ was the one that turned the corner for me. Thin, readable, effective.

A:
Once you have read "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup (what is legal) and "Effective C++" and relatives by Meyers (what is moral) get:
"The C++ Standard Library, A Tutorial and Reference" by Josuttis.
Title says it all.

A:
Lippman, Lajoie and Moo, C++ Primer is a good book, i started with and old edition many year ago.
after you learn the c++ you can switch to some advanced book like:
Exceptional C++, More Exceptional C++ and Exceptional C++ Style by Herb Sutter, search for guru of the week on the internet.
Modern C++ Design by Andrei Alexandrescu, on the internet you found many articles.
good luck
A:
I also think C++: The Complete Reference" by Herbert Schildt is the best starting book because it starts with a C only part then it moves to c++, so it reinforces what you already know. Also at the end you can difference between c and c++ which most people cant do. Cons: really heavy to carry. Tip: once finished take a look at the boost libraries, they are very good to accelerate your development.
