I w'd really appreciate if somebody suggest me any book which has good interview questions on C++, STL and boost?

A:
For good reference C++/STL books, I'd recommend the following:
Effective C++ - Scott Meyers
Effective STL - Scott Meyers
More Effective C++ - Scott Meyers
Exceptional C++ - Herb Sutter
More Exceptional C++ - Herb Sutter
Modern C++ Design - Andrei Alexandrescu
UPDATE:
The Design and Evolution of C++ - Bjarne Stroustrup
Most of these books are organized such that it lists down the key points for a certain topic, which may possibly be asked in an interview.

+1. Maybe add The Design and Evolution of C++ to that for completeness?

Yes, added. Thanks.

Good list! In any technical interview I've had over the phone or in person, most of the stuff that is C++-specific is taken out of Meyer's two C++ books or Sutter's Exceptional books.

What about Thinking in C++ from Bruce Eckel? Do you see that more as an introductory book?

@Dan: Yes, it's a good book too but I consider it more as a tutorial though. If you're trying to learn C++, it's a good book to begin.

A:
There really isn't a book on Boost that is comprehensive--you just have to read the documentation for each library. I think that most employers are looking for basic familiarity with the following:
- Smart pointers library
- Binders library
- Function library
The above three libraries are very common in C++ code utilizing Boost, especially code that subscribes to the "STL way".
Beyond that it can be really hit or miss.
