I cant afford these books.

Some time ago it occurred to me that the price you pay in time and effort absorbing the material from a book like this one is usually incomparably higher than the price of the book itself.
Someone needs to write a book with the list of books to learn C++ the correct way. It's definitely unaffordable.
There is a community-curated list of the best C++ books on Stackoverflow.

One of the good things of the language being so all and pervasive is that there is a lot of very good learning materials.

Good news! You do not need this book. Moreso, you will do better without it than with it.
I can assure you that most (if not all) C++11/14 developers that have some prior experience with those standards will find our book useful in various possible ways.

If you don't want to take my word for it, check out the acknowledgements in the book itself -- it has been thoroughly reviewed endorsed by many top-notch ISO committee members and C++ experts.
