Rating:  - C Programming Book
"The C Programming Language" is a good book overall. I expected it to come in a little better shape, but I can't complain. I trust the source I got it from and would recommend buying one of these if you want the "White Book" for old-time programmers.
Rating:  - Magic book
This book is accurate, beautifully written, short, and yet comprehensive. It's the only book on the C language that you'll ever need.
Rating: - The Must-have
I've read the first edition, and this is a must. It doesn't cover some of the details of ISO/ansi 99, but those can be found elsewhere. What can't be found is the way the authors drag even the beginning student right into the depths of memory allocation so soon. This book isn't too easy, but it's one no student of c can be without, and it's well-written, into the bargain.
Rating: - Great Book
Most people that are serious about C know about this book, often calling it "K & R" or "The Old Testament." As the authors of this book are also the authors of the C language itself, it's kinda hard to find a "better" book on the subject. The first edition has some errors that were (hopefully) fixed in the 2nd edition.

Rating: - The defacto book on C
This book is extremely well written but it moves very fast. It is a short read so in order to get the most out of it you'll need to read then re-read much of it. Also, actually doing the examples and excercises will get you that much closer to knowing the C language intimately.
I know that this book was written a long time ago and the fact that it still holds up is pretty amazing. It is somewhat dated in terms of the typography and layout in fact it's not the easiest book to ... Read More
