C++ with directx book?

Hey,

I am very intrested in C++ and DirectX, i was hoping that someone here may know of a good book?

I have not got a limit on the price or anything i just need something good for beginners, i have seen many books but people always write them off saying they are not that great.

Thanks for any help.
Lee.

They say that this book is pretty good, I got recommended to buy this book for some reason a while back though... you can research about the content first and then see if you like it

Here's the PDF:

Only overview about the book

Thanks but i believe that that book is only C++, i am after Directx mainly, reason i said C++ is because i don't want a Directx book for .NET or something else lol.
