My parents also got me that book as a teenager. I learned C from that book: I knew Pascal which we were taught at school and once I realised that you just substituted BEGIN and END with { and } it was easy to learn the other aspect.

I really regret that I don't have it any more for the sentimental value it held.

I see archive.org has it in their library [0], though it is is marked as "not for borrow"

EDIT: Doh, I recogonised the author's name, but I'm thinking of a different book: "Teach yourself game-programming in 21 days"
