Best Advanced C++ book?

Dasuraga

I've been programming in C++ for a while now, but the only "real"
training material I have is "C++ for dummies"(to make things even
worse, it's the fourth edition,which doesn't even cover STL, and it's
somewhat outdated). I really want to get a book that covers more
advanced topics like the STL and stream I/O in detail, but I have
absolutely no clue which books are really teaching books, and which
ones are just references. So, I ask you, comp.lang.c++, do you have
any suggestions for some good intermediate c++ books?

What else but "the C++ programming Language"?

Advanced books tend to specialise on certain aspects of the language.

There are dozens but the ones that I would always recommend are the
"Effective C++" series by Scott Meyers (3 books) and the "Exceptional C
++" series of books by Herb Sutter (also 3 books).
