The third edition of Scott Meyers' excellent book was recently published.  The
title is slightly different: "Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your
Programs and Designs."  I highly recommend it - even for those persons with an
earlier version.  Much has changed.

In addition to that there are so many books from which to choose.  How about:

Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective by Diomidis Spinellis

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler

If all else fails, perhaps leave some books on resume writing lying around as a
not-too-subtle hint.
