In a recent ad by Addison Wesley, the following two titles caught my eye:
- The C++ Language, 2nd Edition, B. Stroustrup
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^
- The C++ Primer, 2nd Edition, S. Lippman
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^

My questions are:
- How do these books differ from the 1st edition?
  (I assume that Bjarne's book now covers C++ Release 2.0 or
   higher instead of Release 1.2.  What about the Primer by
   Lippman?)
- Have these books hit the stores in the US?  If not, when will
  they be available?

Thanks for any info.
