Stroustrup's C++ books are great. You can read them like a regular book. Scott Meyer's books read well. Kernighan & Ritchie's C book is very good. Mac OS documentation in the 1990's was excellent.

I feel there has been a decline in the quality of tech writing since the internet became popular. Today's books are often extremely verbose while not conveying content well.
