     Although it is not specific to C, I would recommend: "The Elements
of Programming Style", Second Edition, Brian W. Kernighan and P.J. Plauger,
McGraw-Hill, 1978.  The examples are in Fortran and PL/1, but they can be
useful to programmers in any Algol-based language.


     Perhaps it is time for a third edition, with examples written in C???
