[buug] c++ book recommendation

Thus spake Ian Zimmerman:

I would have to recommend "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne
Stroustrup.  I don't know anyone that would know more about C++ than him
;)  I had the 1st edition, and it had lots of detail and was very readable
(for me).

Amazon link if interested...  3rd edition
