C++ Coding Standards, Sutter and Alexandrescu. Save yourself the trouble of writing your own standard, just get everybody on the team one of these books.

Working Effectively with Legacy Code, Michael C. Feathers. Despite the title, this is a book about testing, and every programmer should read it.

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master, Hunt and Thomas. This is, more than the previous two books, a fun read, with a lot of good advice in all areas of the craft.
