I have learned about STL from three sources:
"The STL Primer," Glass/Schuchert, Prentice Hall
"C++ Programmers Guide to the Standard Template Library," Nelson, IDG
Books
"April 1995 Draft Working Papers," available on www.att.com &
www.cygnus.com

The STL Primer is a small book, better as a "pocket reference" type book.
The Programmers Guide is huge, comprehensive, and includes a lot of useful
information on rationales and changes made by the committee. The DWP is in
legalese and may be difficult to read but is the most current reference
generally available to the public.
