Look it over, especially the index. Personal experience has taught me that a good index is priceless. (Plus I think the book should only be about $35) This book is really neat in that it teaches 'vanilla' C++, which means you don't have to work hard to find a compiler that works with the programs in the book (I have run most of the sample programs with DJGPP, and they're fine).
