It's a great as just a reference to C++ keywords, concepts, etc. Designing in C++ is another topic entirely, but it doesn't sound like need to worry too much about that.

I wouldn't recommend that book for someone who's starting C++ programming. Especially for someone who's just interested in learning the syntax of the language.
That book is like one level above the language specifications and most of the information contained goes beyond the scope of a beginner.
Judging from his OP, I don't think he's interested in reading 1000+ pages on nitty gritty details of C++.
Instead of a book, I recommend some tutorials you can find online such as this one:
