i want to buy a C++ book. i am pretty comfortable with C++. i didnt follow any proper book while learning it. i upgraded to C++ from my preexisting C knowledge in addition to few things i learned from sumita arora which i had to buy for school purpose. now that my school is over, i want to upgrade my existing C++ knowledge with advaced topics like vectors, STL, advanced OOP, etc. which book should i go for both reference purpose of what i already know and for learning advanced stuffs about C++?

what about complete reference or lafore?

what if i want to buy a paper book as i am not comfortable with ebooks? i will spend some time with the downloaded version of "thinking in C++" and if i find it good, will buy its hard copy.

It's readily available in bookstores as well. At least I have noticed it in bookstores.
