It is _A C++ Primer_ by Stanley B. 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.

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.
