C++ Primer Plus, Fourth Edition by Stephen Prata - A self-contained introduction to C++. It's clearly written and easy to understand.

I loved the thinking books by eckel (java and c++) since they include information of design and software engineering concepts that are usually missing in other books, but it is not a beginners book.

I started with an older "Learn to program in C++ in 21 Days" book, but realized about halfways through that it was severely outdated.

I switched to this book and even though I'm not 1/4th the way through yet I can tell it's so much better.
