OOP Books Centered around C++ ??

First, I want to say thanks to everyone that posts in the tutorials. I probably learned more from reading the comments than I could have learned from just slogging through the tutorials and hoping to "just get it". Thank you! Second, my journey through the C++ tutorial was a blast. It was like a bullet train until I got to classes. At that point, the train derailed, slid down the side of the mountain and melted into a heap of lumpy metal from the post-crash fire. I still somehow made it through classes with the most rudimentary of understanding, again with the incredible help from the comments section. Thanks again! I was able to sprint to the finish once I made it through this section. Finally, clearly my weak point is OOP. (disclaimer: I learned some BASIC and Turbo Pascal in the late 1980s and very early 1990s, so had no significant exposure to OOP practices as the languages I used never really demanded it.). What are some good sources for utter rubes like me to embrace OOP? I've found a few websites, but I'm looking for a book (or even a manifesto) of some kind that I can read while I'm commuting for work. Thank you!

Absolute C++ works well for me. I like it because they have programming projects at the end of each chapter that you can do for practice. On my profile, I post my programming project solutions from the book. If you like them, please give them a like! You could probably find a pdf online of the third edition if you google "absolute c++ 3rd edition pdf". Older editions like 5th and before seem to be available online for free.

"Absolute C++ works well for me." Thanks for the recommendation. I definitely need more concrete examples.
