Re^2: (Perl) Programming Books like the Camel Book

[amarquis]

Mind my asking which of Herbert Schildt's C++ books? My C++ library is terrible, including only two reference-type books that I picked up at a library book sale. They are not very good at all.

Now that I think about it, if I could find a high-quality C++ reference and a best practices guide I'd be pretty happy.

Sure! The C++ book I refer to is C++: The Complete Reference

I would not consider either book a 'best practices' book as the code samples are distilled down to the bare essentials necessary to show what a function does... they're references, pure and un-cluttered.
