   You are asking in the wrong places.

   Good books include Stroustrup, "The C++ Programming Language", Josuttis, "The C++ Standard Library".

   Besides "A Tour of C++", you might enjoy the following:

   - "The C++ Standard Library, 2nd Edition" from Rainer Grimm

   - "C++ Templates, The Complete Guide, 2nd Edition" from David Vandevoorde, Nicolai M. Josuttis, Douglas Gregor

   - "Functional Programming in C++" from Ivan Čukić

   - "Concurrency with Modern C++" from Rainer Grimm

   And any talk from Bjarne or Herb at CppCon or C++Now.

   I am disappointed too. This looks like a very interesting book and there would be plenty of room on my bookshelf among the many Scheme, Common Lisp, and Clojure books that I have paid for and refer to frequently.

   Good documentation is hard to find and having a physical copy means that I it will be available to me for decades. Almost 20 years ago I picked up a hardbound copy of "The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference" by Nicolai Josuttis and it is still something I love having within arms reach of my keyboard.

   The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference

   This is a book on STL (updated for C++ 11) is a classic, and actually very readable. Quite a lot for advanced users, but also not too dry!

   I'd also recommend Zed Shaw's C The Hard Way, because although C++ is not C, getting good at C helps you understand C++ when it goes wrong.

   Best release this year for me was Josuttis's The C++ Standard Library - A Tutorial and Reference, 2nd Edition, which quickly got me to speed with the new C++11 features.
