It is _A C++ Primer_ by Stanley B. Lippman, ISBN 0-201-16487-6, pblished by
Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. I have found it (along with _The C++
Programming Language_ by Bjarne Stroutstrup) to be a first class tutorial and
reference work.

I am currently on a hunt for the _Annottated C++ Reference Manual_ in my local
bookstores.
