I highly recommend _Programming in C_ by C. Kochan (Hayden Book Company).
It was the second C book I read after K&R and it explained a lot of things
for me. I have also recommended the book to others who, after reading
it, agreed that it was an excellent introduction. In fact...just a sec...
the C Language Reference for our system (Apollo) also recommends the 
book.

BTW, I believe that there is a second edition out now...
