C Itself

The C Programming Language
By: Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie
Presents a complete guide to ANSI standard C language programming. Written by the developers of C, this new version helps readers keep up with the finalized ANSI standard for C while showing how to take advantage of C's rich set of operators, economy of expression, improved control flow, and data structures. This 2nd edition has been completely rewritten with additional examples and problem sets to clarify the implementation of difficult language constructs.

C: A Reference Manual
By: Samuel P. Harbison, Guy L. Steele
Harbison and Steele have now gone through four editions and are beginning to cover language differences which can surprise the experienced C coder moving to C++. As always, the authors do an excellent job of explaining what's standard and what it replaces. No hairy syntax has been omitted, so this volume can make wending one's way through obfuscated code, if not pleasant, at least less miserable.

Expert C Programming
By: Peter Van Der Linden
Offers a lively and often humorous look at many aspects of C -- from how memory is laid out to the details of pointers and arrays. The author reveals his points through invaluable anecdotes, such as stories of costly bugs, and through folklore. Each chapter ends with a section entitled "Some Light Relief". Written for experienced C programmers who want to quickly pick up some of the insights and techniques of experts and master the fine arts of ANSI C.
