highly recommended |
Very informative, clear explanations 
I am not new to STL, however this book provided me with a much deeper understanding of the inner workings an nuances of STL.
Some people have complained of the examples. I found them concise and to the point, giving clear and straight forward examples of the topic.
Indispensable
Over the years, I've ordered several copies of this book since they disappear off my shelf (suddenly a co-worker has a copy, strange). I keep one handy at all times for quick and easy reference. I also have Scott Meyers handy cheat sheet for the book:
[...]
It makes lookup even faster than having to flip to the index. I obviously would recommend this book.
Great reference
This is a great reference book for C++ developers. This book covers just about everything in the STL with decent examples, and much explanation. This is one of the books that I keep close by at work as a frequent go-to. I am very pleased with it.
Poor paper quality 
The paper quality of the book is bad.
I read 120 pages so far and like the tutorial style.
reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
C++ Standard Library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ language. The library, however, is not self-explanatory. To make full use of its components-and to benefit from their power-you need a resource that does far more than list the classes and their functions. The C++ Standard Library not only provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, it also offers clearly written explanations of complex concepts, describes the practical programming details needed for effective use, and gives example after example of working code. This thoroughly up-to-date book reflects the newest elements of the C++ standard library incorporated into the full ANSI/ISO C++ language standard. In particular, the text focuses on the Standard Template Library (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms. You will also find detailed coverage of special containers, strings, numerical classes, internationalization, and the IOStream library. Each component is presented in depth, with an introduction to its purpose and design, examples, a detailed description, traps and pitfalls, and the exact signature and definition of its classes and their functions. An insightful introduction to fundamental concepts and an overview of the library will help bring newcomers quickly up to speed. Comprehensive, detailed, readable, and practical, The C++ Standard Library is the C++ resource you will turn to again and again.
