A dog eared copy of http://www.careferencemanual.com/ is what I keep on my desk at work, it is not a learn C book, it somewhat unsurprisingly is a reference manual.

Authors(Samuel P.Harbison and Guy L.Steele Jr.) write concisely and clearly.

For tricky C language questions CAR is much preferable over trying to find answers in the standard.

I had misremembered titles last night, and thought that the book used as a reference here was the one panned in the article submitted to open this thread. Whew! The book we have is actually Harbison and Steele. I tried to read the Amazon recommendations carefully before buying.
