Huh. The ISBN shown at the top of the page (currently "9780136816485") appears to be incorrect. That seems to be the ISBN for "A Tour of C++" from 2022. The ISBN for this book is, according to the Amazon product page[1], "9780138308681".

Edit: emailed Mr. Stroustrup and he just replied to say that the bad ISBN has been corrected.

I expected it to be even more of a tome, but surprisingly it's been cut in half! 2nd edition: Paperback ‏ : ‎ 1312 pages Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 4.81 pounds 3rd edition: Paperback ‏ : ‎ 656 pages Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 2.71 pounds

From the preface, it looks like a bunch of the reference material has been cut from the book in favor of C++ documentation on the internet:

"The third edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ is about half the size of the second edition. Students having to carry the book will appreciate the lighter weight. The reason for the reduced size is simply that more information about C++ and its standard library is available on the Web."

Sharing the C++ Annotations here, which is a continiously updated book on modern C++. http://www.icce.rug.nl/documents/cplusplus/

I get a 404

From https://www.icce.rug.nl/ I got https://fbb-git.gitlab.io/cppannotations/, which does work.

Nice to see C++ knowledge counted in pounds! :)

Link works for me (firefox 125), but only if I use http (port 80), port 443 get me 404 not found as well.
