If the object (you should pardon the expression) of this book was an operating
system, we would say that the book was about internals.  Learning the internals
of the operating system does not help you to remember the commands that you
need to use in order to manage your system.  That type of information, however,
does allow you to take shortcuts, recover from minor disasters, and understand
potential loopholes in security.
 
In the same way, learning the internals of a programming language, and
particularly an object-oriented language, does not help you remember the
syntax.  It does, however, help you to understand which types of constructs are
most suitable for which types of problems.  As Lippman points out, he does not
intend to get the reader into the compiler writing business, only to improve
the reader's skill and quality of programming.
 
This book si definitely not and introduction to the language and is not
intended for the novice.  The target audience is the intermediate to advanced
C++ programmer, with a thorough grounding in objects.
