The Boost C++ Libraries complement the C++ standard by adding practical tools that any C++ developer can use in any C++ project. They are based on the C++ standard and many of the libraries will be incorporated into the next version of the standard. The software is freely available and the project is supported by a large developer community

The boost docs, while of exceptional quality, can be very technical and dense at times. The Boost Libraries book, by comparison, is an easy to read book that has examples of how various Boost libraries are intended to be used. This makes the power of Boost libraries very approachable (and helps minimize the time spent looking at GCC template error messages). Even after 5 years of using Boost, I found several "hidden in plain sight" tricks that could be used based on the examples in this book. Quite a pleasant surprise.
