Sharam Hekmatpour, C++ -- A Guide for C Programmers, Prentice-Hall 1990.

This is really a nice book for the competent C programmer. It has a very
speedy introduction into C++ (version 2). I like the organization of the
material. It is presented in an order that is very natural to the C pro-
grammer. 

Don't expect crazy wisdom about overloaded operator new( size_t, ... ).
It is strictly an introduction into the language.
