a great and clear book on C++
This book is well written and organized. I bought this book 5 years ago, and it's still the best C++ I use all the time. 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.

My Benchmark for All Language Books
This book has become the benchmark against which I measure any computer science text. 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. 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.

Extremely well written and clear.
It really is a shame this book is out of print. 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. I suggest you hunt for it if clarity of presentation and quality of examples and thoroughness is important to you.
