A comment on C is 38 years old. K&R V2 is 22 years old. What's the best modern C book?.

K&R. It's like the C language itself: it just can't be improved upon. It was already meant for our time, when it was written.

Well, it doesn't cover the niceties of C99. While I own it, and it'd be the first C book i'd recommend, it could perfectly have a chapter explaining some changes in C since it was written.
