Meyers book has been the book I'd recommend to anybody moving beyond the beginner stage in C++, but there's so much critical stuff in the new standard that the last edition of his book doesn't cover that I'd hesitate to recommend it now. I think you're better off studying some of the resources available online, like the videos at http://channel9.msdn.com/

That is, of course, only until a new edition of Meyers' book comes out.
