I bought C++ Primer in 1990 because I needed to learn the language for my masters thesis work. I remember it being unusualy well written, clear, and above all concise. I read it several times back to back over a few days. Knowing C++ back then (perhaps more than having that MSc) got me my first two jobs. So thank you Mr Lippman, and rest easy.
