Format:Paperback
I have a couple of the excellent "The Complete Reference" books and use them extensively. C++: The Complete Reference is another great reference in the series and is incredibly useful. I wouldn't however recommend this for the C++ beginner (C++: A Beginners Guide , also by the fantastic Herbert Schildt was the book i started with and is excellent for the beginner). I would highly recommend this, and all Herbert Schildt books as they are excellent.

This is the only C++ reference book you will need, period.
It contains basically every function in the standard library and also gives an overview of the basic language features.
Although it does give an overview of the basic programming elements of C++ it probably would not be suitable for a beginner or someone simply trying to learn C++.
As a reference i highly recommend it.

This is a handy book to have available when writing software in C++, serving as a realiable way to accurately describe the core ANSI/ISO language features as well as the standard template library.
