Lippman, ISBN 0-201-16487-6, pblished by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. I have found it (along with _The C++ Programming Language_ by Bjarne Stroutstrup) to be a first class tutorial and reference work. I am currently on a hunt for the _Annottated C++ Reference Manual_ in my local bookstores. --- Barry L.

> are there any GOOD books out there for an aspiring c++ programmer, > who is also not a c programmer? I just read "An Introduction to C++" by Keith Gorlen in selected readings which came with the AT&T Release 2.0 manuals, which was very clear. This is taken from a paper by Keith Gorlen, but I don't have any more details. Maybe this introduction is in : "Data Abstraction and Object Oriented Programming in C++" by K.E. Gorlen, S.M. Orlow & P.S. Plexico, Wiley 1990 ISBN #1-92346-X .. it may be worth checking out. -- Andy Pearce
