Designing Components with the C++ STL: A New Approach to Programming (Revised Edition) Review by John Lund
Better than most STL books
Most "STL" books available today are little more than reference manuals. Furthermore, most of them are downright terrible. This one's not bad.
Breymann offers clear examples of how to use existing elements of the STL, and (more importantly) how to write code that employs the same idioms so you can take advantage of the standard C++ library in your own work. Neither the code nor the writing are top-notch, but they are by no means terrible. You'll want Stroustroup's book handy (and maybe Austern's, too), but this book is a worthwhile read.
