Kochan's book is fine for the student programmer.  It has enough explanation
and examples for anyone with a little prior programming experience to learn a
fair amount of C.

K&R is for the programming pros who need only very terse examples and almost
no explanation to understand a new language.

Of course, these are "merely" my opinions.  :-)
