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 ?
