Notable new C++ books to be (or already) published this fall

This season is pleasantly surprising for the variety of good quality C++ books coming out of print. Take a look for yourself. Four books in a row containing very solid material are guaranteed to boost your professional interest (if you are into C++ of course, which I am). It hasn't happened for a while. At least I don't remember myself being as excited about it as I am now. So here you go:

Exceptonal C++ Style (link)
I won't even bother telling you who the author of this book is :). If you don't know him, too bad for you. Anyway I already bought it and I can tell you it's definitely worth the money I spent. Nice addition to the well known series.

C++ Coding Standards (link), Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu
It supposed to be a collection of recommendations for a C++ programmer to keep in mind. There are so many facets of C++ programming that it's impractical to remember all this information. It'd be great to have a collection of short articles to remind you about various C++ techniques. I strongly believe that this is what this book is going to be about.

Imperfect C++ (link), Matthew Wilson
Matthew published a number of interesting articles in CUJ lately. I liked one about string shims quite a lot. He has a lot of experience in practical C++ applications he'll share with us in this book.

C++ Template Metaprogramming (link), David Abrahams, Aleksey Gurtovoy
What can I say? Those who liked "C++ Templates" want more!
