A C whiz I aint; that's why I like _C_Primer_Plus_ by Mitchell Waite, Stephen
Prata and Donald Martin published by Howard W. Sams & Company.

This is a common book used in beginning C classes.

Hope this helps.

I think that either "Programming in C" by Stephen G. Kochan or "A Book On C"
by Al Kelley and Ira Pohl are appropriate.  They are both used in introductory 
courses in C.  The Kochan book is notable in that presents a small complete
program to illustrate each new feature or concept.  It teaches by example.
