From the C Echo on Fidonet, and my own experience, there are two very good introductory C books: 1). Microsoft or Turbo C Programming for the IBM by Robert Lafore and the Waite Group (Howard W. Sams & Company) 2). C Primer Plus by Waite, Prata, and Martin and The Waite Group (Howard W. Sama & Company) By the way, I am assuming that you are looking for something micro related; not that with C it makes a big difference what platform you are working on.
