My experience is mostly with Java, Perl, Python and plain C, until I
recently had to use C++ on one project. Not knowing much about it I still
rather liked it, would like to use it a lot in the future, and I'd like a
solid book about the current best way of doing things.

I'd buy a physical book. E-book I don't know, probably not -- my experience
is that I never actually read them except for a few pages here and there.
Paper books I read cover to cover. But I might not be typical.
