The extra book you are referring to is (I think) "Topics in C Programming" by
Kochan and Wood.  It is about 500 pages of Unix interfacing to C routines.
Not a bad reference if you program in a Unix environment.  ISBN # is:
0-672-46290-7. 

As a side note, I too learned C first from "Programming in C."
No flames, please, I own and have read K&R.  I thought the book
was an excellent one to learn from.  Let's face it, K&R is the bible of
C programming, but it can be a LITTLE hard to follow for a beginner.
