I recommend a very gentle introduction if you've never seen the STL
before, such as Schildt's Teach Yourself C++ third edition (the first
ed to cover the STL). The STL is very bizarre if you've never seen it
before. Once you're used to it, Stroustrup's third edition will get you
into thinking in STL.  After that, you may want a reference book like
the STL Tutorial and Reference Guide for some of the more exotic parts.
The latest edition of the C++ Primer *JUST* came out, and I haven't had
time to really read it yet, but it has a good STL section. Schildt's
new pocket reference for C and C++ covers the STL and is the most
portable thing released to-date with info in it.

For more info, see the second URL in my signature and look for
the Cyber Reviews page.
