Format:Paperback
This really isn't a "learn C++" tutorial, its a book to have on your desk as reference. In that respect its excellent, covering just about every nook and cranny of C++ that exists.

The Book Of All Books 18 July 2008
By Steven J. Hoover - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
What else can I say about the book made by the man himself. Well since I didn't say anything yet, I guess I better get started. (I admit that was bad).

I agree that you need previous knowledge of c++, but if people are going through the c++ books and realizing that they are just repeats of old knowledge you already know, then this book does the least of your concerns.

This book does present you with SOME past information, however it seems to present it much more difficult and ends and starts out with new information much faster than all the other books. And believe me, with all the pages in this book, there seems to be alot to learn about this book. Overall, I'd recommend it to any continuing C++ programmers. 5 out of 5.
