I had someone in my last C++ class who tried to use that book, and it was absolutely horrible! I think it really depends on the person as if a book is a good thing or not. Self-teaching really helps me more than anything. Books, and experimentation. As for UNIX syscalls and such, I use examples of code that uses it.
If you want a decent book, I myself recommend Ivor Horton's ANSI C++ published by Apress.
