I would call a C++ book "good" if it: 1. teaches the object-oriented paradigm well. 2. covers all of C++ (v.2.0) syntax completely, in a cookbook fashion. 3. has a reference section. (4. not thicker than K&R or Stroustrup) Please e-mail if you have a particular book that you like, I'll summarize. Thanks. sugih
