A good place to start looking for books on C/C++ is "www.informit.com" (in the ''Free Library'' section). They have a lot of Que books in HTML format for free. That way, you can decide if you want the books to begin with (the full content of the books are online for no charge, but if you''re like me, you probably like hardcopy)

For beginning game programming, there are no better books than those by Andre Lamothe. Either "Windows Game Programming for Dummies" or "Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus" are good places to start.
