Following is a list of seemingly good beginners books on C++ that I weeded out solely based on the book reviews in http://accu.org//
Programming -- Principles and Practice using C++, Bjarne Stroustrup
http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/programming.html
Book from the inventor of the language.
The solutions to exercises in this book are available in the following book:
C++ Solutions - Companion to The C++ Programming Language, 3rd Edition; David Vandevoorde, Addison-Wesley, 292pp
http://accu.org/index.php?module=bookreviews&func=search&rid=358
C++ Primer, 4th ed, Stanley B Lippman et al, Addison Wesley, pp885
A very popular and early primer on C++.

Answer book to this is available:
C++ Primer Answer Book, Clovis Tondo & Bruce Leung, Addison-Wesley, 430pp
http://accu.org/index.php?module=bookreviews&func=search&rid=436
C++ From the Beginning, Jan Skansholm, Addison-Wesley, 538pp
http://accu.org/index.php?module=bookreviews&func=search&rid=1508
OOP emphasis, explains pointers etc. well, meant for beginners
But speed of the book may not be the best for a beginner
You can Program in C++, Francis Glassborow, John Wiley and Sons, <400pp
Can be used by the beginner. Have a good impression about the author.
Highly rated.

Data Structures and Algorithms in C++, Adam Drozdek, PWS Publishing Co, 508pp
A average review. Might be a good replacement for Cormen et. al. as that book uses Java as the language for examples.

Essential C++, Stan Lippman, Addison-Wesley, pp276
For its small size, it has been received well.
