What are your favourite C++ books?

I heard somewhere that Any Book written by Herb Schildt is not so good, including The Complete Reference, C++; I am an intermediate C++ user but have been following this book for a while.
What do you think ?? May be we should start a bad book topic..

Hey! I had a PDP-8 class with Walter Savitch way back in the days of the dinosaurs! Glad to see he's moved on to C++.

I apologize, but I don't understand what this above mean.
I wondered if it's a good book (take a comparison with "Thinking in c++")....

I means that I took a class with the author twenty five years ago, when the only C++ was the AT&T cfront compiler. Professor Savitch was teaching assembly for the PDP-8 system.
