Stl?

I want to start game programming, but I haven't really learned much about the standard template library. Basically I'm wondering if it's a good idea to learn about the STL, and what book(s) I should buy on it. I remember some threads mentioned a book called "The C++ Standard Library" but its pretty expensive. Also, what are some good game programming books? "Trick's Of The Windows Game Programming Guru's" has been mentioned, is it any good?

You don't really need a book for the basics of STL. Just use Google.
