What C book to buy?

[Knudsen]

I vote for _C Wizard's Programming Reference_ by W. David
Schwaderer.  A good concise reference, but also a good tutorial
in not too many pages.  Loaded with warnings about hazards, pitfalls,
portability problems, and the new ANSII standards.
These would have saved me days of hair-pulling if I'd had this book
earlier in life.  Also good "cheat sheets" in the back.

Very clear, but doesn't talk down to you (talking down wastes
extra verbiage, which this book avoids).

Oh yes -- John Wiley & Sons, ISBN 0-471-82641-3
