Thinking in C++ is good ebook to start with...
Get it (both volumes) from any of the mirror listed on *www.mindview.net/Books/DownloadSites

Let Us C++ is also well known book by Yashwant Kanitkar.

if u r complete beginner to programming i suggest C For dummies which is excellent for beginners though it does not cover advanced topics

^^ he is asking for C++ books.. (although there is also a C++ for dummies)..

But I've found C++ Primer Plus the best book so far... Its a complete encyclopedia... One advice - Stay Away from Yashwant Kanetkar's Let Us C.. It sucks.

Don't use Let Us C /C++. You are better off with any other book. I agree that Kanitkar's style is easy to understand, but as you will advance, you will get irritated by it. If you want, use it only for bare bones. It is not useful for deep knowledge.

@clmlbx If you already know all the aspects of C (general) then go for Professional C++ (wrox). Also check practical C++ programming and 55 ways to better programming in C++ (both O'Railey)
