Buying a C book but for c++ purposes

I was thinking of buying this book: TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers (Morgan Kaufmann Practical Guides)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0123745403/ref=sib_rdr_dp

and wanted to ask would it be a problem that I don't know the C language i.e. is it easy enough for me to change the C stuff to C++. It's just there don't seem to be that many socket programming books around for c++.

I'd recomend books by Douglas Comer and/or Richard Stevens. Try Internetworking with TCP/IP Volume 3 or Unix Network Programming: Sockets Networking API

I'm not sure why anyone bothers to write (or buy) books on something already so completely described.

Why C? Because TCP/IP was developed on UNIX using C. For all intents and purposes, C++ is a superset of C, so you should be able to follow it.
