I've not read it, but the author's other books have been well-regarded for years:

I have read it. Would highly recommend it. Most other guides just go over the neat things, but this one also goes over all the potential pitfalls and things to watch out for (and it's C++ -- there's always something to watch out for :))

I would like to read this book but the O'Reilly website eBook + Print combo deal is not available until next year.. Does anyone know how I can order both and get the early access ebook now and then the print book when it's ready?

I agree. Effective C++ was/is the guide for C++98 - Effective Modern C++ is the guide for C++11.

I've read it already, the final retail version, not the early draft and its pretty awesome (like all his other books).

IMO its better than the Bjarne Stroustrup book (which i've read too), but any of the two is fine to learn modern C++ features.
