Could you put a date on that?
I would go for mid to late '90-es.

One was the Stroustrup which was a specification.
I've used the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual) by Stroustoup and Ellis. Btw, if the woman you are talking about is Margret Ellis, she is very effective author.

The number of manuals was smaller but their quality was much better (me thinks). That depends also on the style of documentation you like. Me, I'm a fan of dry, terse and complete manuals.
