Game books

Does anyone know of any GOOD gaming books? I would like a book that explains how to create 3D games and does not cost a whole lot. By good I mean the book explains all the code it has in it and teaches the topic thoroughly. I know some C++, so any books using C++ would be good. Thanks

I have OpenGL Game Programming, and it's really good, starts with the basics, goes through various topics, to end up with a simple FPS game, check it out here:

I noticed a newer version of that book is out now. It looks like they fixed some errors and updated the code. I will check that out. Any other suggestions?
