One thing which is in here I have never seen anywhere else. It is the idea of PromotionTraits, which permit control of the return type of a function depending upon the type of the arguments. I have been able to use this to resolve some difficult problems of OperatorOverloading. -- JohnFletcher

TheCppStandardLibrary is also by Josuttis. There is now a new edition of that.
