C++ training manual?

It's been suggested to me that I should "brush up on" my C++.  I've never learned that language, though I'm good with C.  I'm looking for recommendations for good books to learn C++ from, for someone who has plenty of computer experience and knows several languages but is inexperienced in object-oriented programming.  By way of background, I favour approaches which start with simple working examples and add details and complexity, as (for example) with Donald Knuth's TEX manual.

Thanks for any suggestions.

O'Reilly has two possible books that might work for you: Practical C++ Programming, or C++ The Core Language.

I learned it from Stroustrop's book, which I don't on the whole recommend.
