Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days
After reading that you should be able to make acouple text games pretty easily. If you find any books that are like 5/ 10 bucks, when your shopping around, buy them. Its always good to have a reference (of course, the through the table of contents and make sure it doesnt cover all the same stuff as a book you already have..) I bought the book called "The Standard C++ Bible" really cheap one day, and I found myself using it alot when I made text based games.
/////// edit
I went to amazon and found the direct link to the book you should get:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672317664/qid=1001192343/br=1-7/ref=br_lf_b/107-6379502-6802901
Its the fifth edition so its more up to date than the one I have (which had tons of errors, second edition).
