    Are these good books of c++?

    I have found this webpage:
    http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/how....html#faq-28.5

    which suggests these books:

    some best-of-breed C++ morality guides:

    1. Cline, Lomow, and Girou, C++ FAQs, Second Edition, 587 pgs, Addison-Wesley, 1999, ISBN 0-201-30983-1. Covers around 500 topics in a FAQ-like Q&A format.

    2. Meyers, Effective C++, Third Edition, 320 pgs, Addison-Wesley, 2005, ISBN 0321334876. Covers 55 topics in a short essay format.

    3. Meyers, More Effective C++, 336 pgs, Addison-Wesley, 1996, ISBN 0-201-63371-X. Covers 35 topics in a short essay format.

    some best-of-breed C++ legality guides:

    1. Lippman, Lajoie and Moo, C++ Primer, Fourth Edition, 885 pgs, Addison-Wesley, 2005, ISBN 0-201-72184-1. Very readable/approachable.

    2. Stroustrup, The C++ Programming Language, Third Edition, 911 pgs, Addison-Wesley, 1998, ISBN 0-201-88954-4. Covers a lot of ground.

    some best-of-breed C++ programming-by-example guides:

    1. Koenig and Moo, Accelerated C++, 336 pgs, Addison-Wesley, 2000, ISBN 0-201-70353-X. Lots of examples using the standard C++ library. Truly a programming-by-example book.

    2. Musser and Saini, STL Tutorial and Reference Guide, Second Edition, Addison-Wesley, 2001, ISBN 0-201-037923-6. Lots of examples showing how to use the STL portion of the standard C++ library, plus lots of nitty gritty detail.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    I'm concerned with books that are... up to date & good.
    Should I trust these books to study them or there are other better books?

    I'll appreciate if you give me an answer. I fear studying something obosolette or something.

    I would wait a year or two to buy "legality" guides. This is because there's a new C++ standard coming up and lots of good books are due for new editions. One example is this excellent book on the C++ standard library,
