That's the book I learned STL on. I thought it was a good read. Over the years, while using it, I think it seemed to be a little lacking as a reference for some reason. But overall a good book. One of the quirks of STL is the way strings evolved over the years, so you end up having stuff talking about char * strings and the std::string class and the other classes have evolved to use std::string. Anyway, it can be a little confusing. I seem to recall this book covering both.
