I have been programming for a while and found that the Kernighan and Ritchie
book left much to be desired as a tutorial although it makes a good reference.
The book I learned from is:
                           Programming in C
                           by Stephen G. Kochan
published by Hayden Book Company, Rochelle Park, New Jersey,
ISBN 0-8104-6261-3.

I found the examples in the book quite straight forward and easy to follow.
The sections on I/O and memory allocation are a bit skimpy, but for a 
first books it is very good.
