C++ Books

Is the book "Wiley's Teach yourself C++" a useful book or is it one of the sub-par books?

Also, for a beginner is the book Object-Oriented Programming In C++ by Robert LaFore a good book to get and read?

When it comes to a beginner's book on C++, there's only one choice: Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo. No other book I've read comes close to the awesomeness of that one as a first book, and I've read pretty much every text on C++ that you're likely to consider for quite some time.
