C book review request

[Andrew Hume]

i just my copy of kochan's book. it is intended for my next summer student
to learn C from. it certainly has a most peculiar claim on
the back cover. sam morgan actually delivered the book to me
asking me "who is the foremost authority on C in the Unix environment?"
i was looking at dennis ritchie at the time but decided it had to be
a trick question; accordingly i mumbled some names like plum or jaeschke(sic).
i was astonished to find the answer(sic) is kochan. still, like his
book on security, the C book is large.
