I'll answer off-list since this isn't really on topic.

Google for Nathan Myers (or just go to http://www.cantrip.org/) to find
out
about traits from the guy that invented them.

Addison Wesley just announced a new book on templates by Josuttis. I've
got
it on order, but haven't seen it yet. If this book is as well received
as
his last one was, it will be great.

There aren't enough books on generic programming yet. But you can go to
http://cuj.com and read back articles including the editors forum to get
what is available.
