C++ Must Have Books

This is my list of must-have books for C++ development:

The C++ Programming Language This book defines the language. While it isn't for first time programmers, it is an excellent reference.
Effective C++ Scott Meyers is my favorite technical writer. I will buy any book he writes, he's that good. This book taught me more about C++ than any other and is the "Elements of Style" for C++ programming.
More Effective C++ More excellence from the master.
The C++ Standard Library My favorite part of C++ is defined in here. STL, the brilliant brainchild of Stepanov, is clearly explained by Josuttis. Like all good technical books, this one is loaded with examples.
Effective STL Remember what I said about Meyers? Buy this too.
Design Patterns This book will make you a better programmer in general.
