A great reference / tutorial for the motivated

Since I am rather a beginner to C ++ (some knew little BASIC and C ++), I can not correctly evaluate the technical side of this book. I CAN, HOWEVER, tell you how I feel about this book.
This book is a little too deep for me, but it did Provides details facinate me. I'd Say That if you know the basics of C ++ reasonably well, you'll get much out of this book. The book is well organized and logically divided. I Feel That the caculator program in this book is somewhat vague, and it interrupts the flow of the book. The style of writing is formal, Which I do prefer. The excercises are good, but no answer is provided, limiting Their usefulness for less-experienced programmers. The description for the C ++ Standard Library and discussion of software designs are very interesting to me.
This book is not a primer for C ++; It gives a complete description of C ++, but it is not quite a reference either. I'd say it's a detailed description of the C ++ programming language formatted as a tutorial while Often being used as a reference by experinced programmers.
