The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List

I want to learn C++ by using Vim and MinGW as compiler. I'm interesting at "C++ Primer (4th Edition)" and "C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition)" but I don't know how about it different. It has no book store that I can review those books, so I want to know, what is the different between those book and which one should I get?

EDIT: Personally I would definitely choose C++ Primer over C++ Primer Plus. Why? Because a lot of people who knows what they're talking about regard C++ Primer as one of the best beginner book out there. :)

A: 

I learned from "C++ Primer (4th Edition)" at College. The book isn't based around any particular compiler, however I was satisfied with it as a text book and occasionally I still use it as a reference.

Why should it be based around any compiler?

I added that because Ekkapop mentioned he was using MinGW. I was assuming he would be interested learning in the collection of tools not just gcc. I found Code::Blocks hides most of the cmd-line components fairly well. However, if hes writing in vim a introduction to the compiler flags and other tools such as gdb wouldn't hurt.

@Shift: Of course, fail on my part. Just reads funny to me. :P
