Gorf,

Iam no expert but I have gotten really really good use out of C++ from the ground up Second Edition, By Herbert Schildt. I would recommmend it as well as the other 2 already listed.

/Large Scale C++ Software Design/ by Lakos. /C++ FAQS/ by Cline, Lomow, and Girou. Much larger than the online FAQ. While not related to C++ but rather OO, /Refactoring/ by Fowler talks about how to refactor bad code into good code.
