I got started buying Borland C++ Builder in… 1997, I think, and read the book that came with it which was similarly named. It was quite bad, I remember the chapter on pointers more or less said “I can’t explain why you’d want to use them, but when you find a situation that requires them you’ll know you need them” or something like that.
