Need help choosing a C++ STL book

My favorite 2 C++ books are as follows:

Learning to Program in C++ by Steve Heller published by Prentice Hall
The C++ Standard Library by Nicolai M Josuttis published by Addison Wesley

I'm not a professional programmer, and C++ isn't my favorite language, so
these are more reference and odd bits and bobs as opposed to tutorials.  But
in my library, they're my favorite and have the most worn bindings of my C++
books.

If you don't mind computer screen reading, I recommend Safari.
