The Plaugner STL book is probably good for STL, though I can't swear by
it. The book I have though and meant is ISBN number 0-13-117003-1. It
might be more accurate to call it "The Draft Standard C++ Library". If
there is a newer edition that's fine, but it is already head of fairly
recent g++ libraries. In reality, STL was absorbed into the C++ standard
library, but a lot of people still make the distinction, and you need a
good STL book to take advantage of C++.
