Is it frowned upon to use C++ for Dummies as a basics learning book?

I was originally going to get C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition) for about $19 but I waited to long and the opportunity was lost, and as I'm sure someone out there knows, being a Lighting Designer for theatrics just doesn't pay enough, or often enough for anything better then $20.

After I finish C++ for dummies, what should I move onto?
