If you already know Pascal, there is an excellent book published by
Addison-Wesley(sp?) entitled "C as a Second Language: For native 
speakers of Pascl".  It is written by Tomaz Muldner and Peter Steele.
I strongly recommend this book as it is the one I learned C with.
Of course, it doesn't do you much good if you don't know pascal.  The
whole approach of the book is to take a certain statement/construct
in pascal, and then show you how to do it in C.  It then goes further
to show you how the C construct is more powerful than the pascal.  It
is a generic C book except for the last 3 chapters, which cover MS-DOS,
UNIX, and the MAC respectively.  There are plenty of programming
examples, all of which are bug-free.  
If you want I can dig up the ISBN # for you.
