Books for learning C++?

[KevinO]

I am headed to the mall in a couple of hours that has a books-a-million. What are some good books to get me started on the path to learning C++ (both learning and good reference)?

Thanks.

Programming Abstractions in C++
by Eric S. Roberts

Best introductory text I have found so far.

The actual ansi standard is also a must have, you can buy the pdf here.
