History
The first edition of The C++ Programming Language was published in 1985 (ISBN 978-0201120783). As C++ evolved, a second edition was published in July 1991 (ISBN 978-0201539929), reflecting the changes made.
The third edition of The C++ Programming Language (ISBN 0201889544), was first published on 30 June 1997; a hardcover version of the third edition, with two new appendices, was later published as The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition (ISBN 0201700735) on 11 February 2000. Both the softcover third edition and the hardcover “special edition” have since undergone several reprintings, with corrections.
C++ Solutions (ISBN 0-201-30965-3) is a companion book to the third edition of The C++ Programming Language. It contains solutions to selected exercises of C++ Solutions.
The fourth edition of the book, which will incorporate C++11, is scheduled to be released on May 20, 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
