Holy fuck! That was the exact same book that I used to learn C++, about 14 years ago. I strongly recommend AGAINST it. Typos up the wazoo, missing semi-colons, parentheses, and entire statements. The English was poor too. If it was an advanced book, the typos wouldn't be so bad; an experienced programmer could figure out what was wrong from the compiler errors. But for a beginner, who doesn't know exactly what the errors mean, and who has never seen a working example of what this book is supposed to teach, this book is a terrible suggestion.
It's been 14 years, and I still remember this book. I'm blaming you if I have nightmares tonight, sadist.

It is ironic that Google, the largest user of Internet capacity pays the least relatively to fund the Internet's cost
Economy of scale is not ironic. It is a appropriate, and makes sense to anyone who understands basic economics.
The solution is obvious. Add more DRM!!!
