Re: STL books or other reference

["mike young" <mikeyoung1@hotmail.com>]

I have been using STL but I realized that I was not using some of it's
powerful features. I just received the following from Amazon.com
and so far I am very pleased with the book.

1 copy of "Stl Tutorial & Reference Guide : C++ Programming With the
Standard Template Library (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing
Series)"
 David R. Musser, et al; Hardcover; @ $42.95 each
     (Available immediately)

I looked into the other book that was recommended (by Peterson I think) 
on this list and found that first it is very hard to get. It has not 
been published
for a while and second it was printed in 95 which seems like a long
time ago in the C language world.

Good Luck
Mike Young
