what would be a good book for programming a rpg game in C++

You need to find a book that teaches you how to program in C++ first. If you've never programmed before, you may find it more beneficial to to learn a language like Python instead. C++ can be daunting for a beginner.

You may want to have a look at some online resources first to feel the water. Some web pages i came across have quite engaging material but since its on teh web you may need to be a bit more co-ordinated to make it work for you. There are numerous places you can go to but these two i could easily find for you,

If you already know C++ fairly well, check out the book Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX. Even if you don't want to use DirectX, you can learn a lot about making an RPG in general.

Although if you don't know C++ yet, I would suggest staying away from making an RPG (or any type of game for that matter) until you're comfortable with the language.

Accelerated C++ or C++ Primer are both highly recommended books for beginners. If you don't want to buy a book, check out the free online book Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days.
