The two best intros on C that I've seen are Stephen Kochan's
_Progamming in C_ (or _Programming in ANSI C_ -- same big, updated
for ANSI) and Waite et al's _C Primer Plus.

For PC-specific stuff, you might want to look at Robert LaFore's
_Turbo C Programming for the IBM_. (He also has written
_Microsoft C Programming for the IBM_ for those using MSC or
Quick C.)
