I'm sure if you look on amazon.com you can find something... be sure to read user reviews, though most of them are fake nowadays. _________________ Inside3D : Knowledge Is Power Darkplaces Documentation Wiki

The second edition you mean?
One warning: It's an expensive book... £31.95 was what I had to pay for it, I think. Might be cheaper on Amazon.

Thats the one, Kerninghan and Ritchie. You don't get much more from the horses mouth than that honestly. Seriously, check out the wiki articles on the guys, and on that book. _________________ ...and all around me was the chaos of battle and the reek of running blood.... and for the first time in my life I knew true happiness.

K&R is worth every single USD penny of it. I carry it around like a bible, going to C++ conventions and telling the sinners how they're going to /dev/null when they die. _________________

Crusty old C books are the best, the ones that really elaborate on pointers. DeSmet C manual, comes with the 5 1/4 floppies.

LOL I have the 24-hour book, a metaphor of geologic time in which dinosaurs roam in hour 22 and mankind appears in the last 10 seconds.

"Absolute Beginners guide to C" by Greg Perry. I cannot praise this book highly enough. It actually makes programming 'fun' - what a concept! Unlike every other programming book I read, Perry has great 'Jargon Control'; he does not use a word unless he has explained it first. Brilliant.
I went from dreading programming to actually being fascinated, and found myself unable to put the book down!
