Yes - follow the above links^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The standard costs only $18, and contains a complete and absolutely
authoritative reference for the C++ standard library classes.

Matt Austern's _Generic Programming and the STL_ is a good reference
for the STL.
Not exactly what you asked for; it covers everything in ch 23-25 (1)
(<vector>, <map>, <list>, <deque>, for_each(), copy(), generate(),
sort(), etc) and some things from ch 20. (<utility>,
<functional>). It does not cover <iostream> (or any other streams),
<string>, or auto_ptr. It also covers some things that are not in
the standard, like <hash_map>.
It has some useful portability notes that can help guess whether or
not (and to what extent) your implementation will support each of
the things described.
It is also very readable; out of the many reference books I have, it
is one of only 2 that I have read cover to cover. (The other is the
C++ ARM, which I enjoyed, but has been obsolete for at least 2
years.)
Notes:
(1) Chapter numbers refer to chapters in the ISO C++ Standard, which
you should also purchase, as it is the definitive reference,
though it is not nearly so readable.

Dear fellow programmers,
Do you know what's a good source of reference for
C++ standard library classes ?
