- I find it hard to know which C++ books to recommend because which book
- works for you is highly personal. We all like different styles of
- presentation and have different backgrounds. My advice is to go to a
- good bookstore and browse the C++ programming section, and pick one which
- appeals to you. My only recomendation is to stick with the more
- reputable technical publishers like Addison-Wesley, Prentice Hall, IDG or
- Microsoft Press. The quality of their authors is usualy better, IMHO.
