oops forgot to mention, author of the book is actually creator of c++ language. so you will get every thing there. I am recommending you this book because you said you are intermediate level.

Have a look at the wiki page "Books and Links for learning C and advanced topics":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Books_and_Links_for_learning_C_and_advanced_topics (it should be C++ in the title, but the wiki strips the ++ :-) )

All of the already mentioned books and some more are listed on this page.

I agree on the suggestion for Scott Meyers' books. Of course, you'll also need Design Patters by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides (GoF).

If you want to learn about the wonderous world of templates and metaprogramming, get yourself C++ Templates by Vandevoorde & Josuttis, Modern C++ design by Alexandrescu and C++ Template Metaprogramming by Abrahams & Curtovoy.

Plenty of stuff to make your head spin. It did spin mine!

Unfortunately, it was too late once I had created the page. I'll ask the admins to change the name....

I know this topic is about advanced to expert books, but reading my usual news site I just found "C++ Beginner's Guide":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/beginner/cc305129.aspx which can be freely downloaded till 31st December.
