  24.     You don't want to post questions like this !!
  25.     In my own experience, what you'll get is the book that
  26.     'whoever' learned C with. They'll insist it's *the* best
  27.     book to learn C with and disregard *hundreds* of other
  28.     *equally* *good* texts.
  29.  
  30.     Having said that,
  31.         "A Book on C" by Kelley & Pohl
  32.                 Benjamin Cummings
  33.                 ISBN 0-8053-0060-0
  34.         is absolutely splendid.
  35.  
  36.     Read the C FAQ.
  37.     ***!!  You *must* own a copy of K&R (see FAQ) !!**
  38.  
  39.     Avoid books by H.SCHILDT.

  41.     All IMHO of course.
