You shouldn't wait. That's first and foremost. I don't know of any
books that deal with C++ in general yet specifically talk about Boost
(since Boost is a collection of third-party components, not all of it
and not yet is standardized). But you should get a book published
recently that talks about C++ and has enough of the Standard Library
description in it. I would probably take Stroustrup's Special Edition
(if you can handle it) or combined "Accelerated C++" by Koenig and Moo,
"C++ Standard Library" by Josuttis, and "C++ Templates" by Vandevoorde
and Josuttis. That probably covers 95% of what you're likely to do
in/with C++ in the near future.
