Need: C++ Books recommendations

Hi to all,

The only book that I have read is Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2005 ( and some msdn if that counts ^^ ) the rest of my knowledge I got from forums and try and learn practices. And I was wondering if someone have good book recommendation ( VC++ or C++ ) ? Oh and I am using Irrlicht for about 2 years and I can tell that this engine is great ^^

The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup is the C++ book. Pretty advanced but you won't find anything about C++ that is not written in this book.

Syd logan's "Cross platform development in C++ : Building Mac osx, linux and windows applications".

He worked at mozilla for ages, really great book (starts relatively basic/intermediate) but covers so much thats need to know these days (for multiple platform building etc)

Stroustrup has also written a new book which is aimed at people learning the language. Maybe take a look at the Table of Contents if it's of interest to you: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/programming.html

Sounds like a good book, I will read it as soon I read that first two books. I always wanted to learn more about multiple platform programming. Thank you for your recommendation.
