This got my attention, because that book was what I used first to get 
acquainted with C++ after learning a lot of the 'C' syntax. (I had a history 
in procedural programming so I started of with 'C').
Since you mentioned the urge a few messages ago to learn about subclasses or 
better said, derived classes, and I seem to have read between the lines, that 
you're using something like TC++ 3.0, there is an interesting book that will 
help you futher after you mastered Lafore's. It's called 'Code Secrets' by 
Tom Swan (Sams Publishing isbn 0-672-30287-X). It handles about streams and 
inheritance, but even more interesting, it delves deep in the construction of 
abstract container classes using templates and such. I found it very helpfull 
after chapter 16 of Lafore about the Turbo C++ Container classes which IMHO 
only scratches the surface on that subject. 
Well so far my two cents worth... Succes.
