This is a big, comprehensive book. It's probably one of the better ways to go, if you're looking to fine tune your C++. Though, go elsewhere if you're trying to learn the language from scratch.

Liberty, one of the voices of C++/C# presents, with a laundry list of other C++ pros, a detailed look at the C++ programming language. The book is good for a read-through, and then keeping nearby for a paper reference (though, keep in mind that most programming languages come, these days, with the manual included, and for those that don't, and internet connection is all you need).

This isn't a beginner's book, so try something else if you're wishing to dip your feet into C++. But, otherwise, it's a valuable reference with helpful examples, including a CD-ROM with the code snippets included. ( )
