That one's not bad, but I'd whole-heartedly recommend Programming In Python.
;-)

The Design and Evolution of C++ by Stroustrup I really enjoyed.  It's a
"Here's why C++ is the way it is" book, which really helped me grok it.

C++ In Plain English by Overland looked like a good book starting from the
ground and working up.

There was also a white one with red lettering that IIRC was from AT&T.
It looked like a pretty close port of the K&R C book, but I kind of moved
away from C++ shortly after I got it.
