Summary: Great book on the STL
Comment: Having stuggled through several excellent books on the STL (Stroustrup, Glass, Nelson etc) I was left with the rather disconcerting feeling that I simply didn't "get it." I got the best insight from Nelson's book (which I would also highly recommend), but in this book, Schildt really made the light come on.
Assuming you are already up to speed with pre-ANSI C++, you will find this book an excellent read. Also, the organization of the book means that it becomes a very good reference after you have finished reading it. Great book.

Summary: Excellent book with quality content and is easy to read.
Comment: This book is very easy to read and understand. Herb presents its content in a useful, directed and thoughtful approach that is representative of his ability to communicate clearly and concisely even difficult concepts.
I use this book primarily as a reference because I'm always questioning something important about the STL that is a lot harded to dig through with other books. If you buy only one book on the STL, be sure that this is it. I've got nearly every other book on the topic, and feel that this one is best for thumbing or reading for C++ developers at all skill levels.
Rating: 3
Summary: Good examples, bad index
Comment: I found this book very useful for its tables that list out the various APIs with quick explanations, as well as the examples it gives. For example, it showed how to create a map of strings with the appropriate compare function. However, the index is paltry and pretty much useless. Too bad, because I'd otherwise recommend it. Consider Addison Wesley's STL Tutorial instead.
