Summary: a great and clear book on C++
Review: I bought this book 5 years ago, and it's still the best C++ I use all the time. This book is well written and organized. It illustrates many important and complex issues clearly. I 've read it many times. Especially very helpful when your 're looking for a C++ job, you can find answers to almost all C++ interview questions.

Summary: My Benchmark for All Language Books
Review: I own several C++ texts and (call it an odd hobby) have expended several bookstore days probably, in my quest for the best texts for my library. This book has become the benchmark against which I measure any computer science text. It's meaty, precise, comprehensive and clean. It's a great reference as well as a terrific C++ boostrapper for someone with C experience. It's a mystery to me why this is out of print - but probably has to do with the fact that it does presume C skills. I sometimes peruse this book just to experience the pleasure of his crystal clear expositions and highly recommend it.

Summary: Extremely well written and clear.
Review: Stephen Blaha is an excellent writer and this makes for one of the clearest, most complete, high quality C++ books I have ever come across. It really is a shame this book is out of print. I suggest you hunt for it if clarity of presentation and quality of examples and thoroughness is important to you.
