Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the very first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard. From the Preface: We have tried to retain the brevity of the very first edition. C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book. We have improved the exposition of critical features, such as pointers, that are central to C programming. We have refined the original examples, and have added new examples in several chapters. For instance, the treatment of complicated declarations is augmented by programs that convert declarations into words and vice versa. As before, all examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine-readable form. As we said in the very first preface to the very first edition, C 'wears well as one's experience with it grows.' With a decade more experience, we still feel that way. We hope that this book will help you to learn C and use it well.
Amazon.com Review:
Just about every C programmer I respect learned C from this book. Unlike many of the 1,000 page doorstops stuffed with CD-ROMs that have become popular, this volume is concise and powerful (if somewhat dangerous) -- like C itself. And it was written by Kernighan himself. Need we say more?

"The C Programming Language" is a good book overall. I expected it to come in a little better shape, but I can't complain. I trust the source I got it from and would recommend buying one of these if you want the "White Book" for old-time programmers.
Rated by buyers -
This book is accurate, beautifully written, short, and yet comprehensive. It's the only book on the C language that you'll ever need.
Rated by buyers -
I've read the very first edition, and this is a must. It doesn't cover some of the details of ISO/ansi 99, but those can be found elsewhere. What can't be found is the way the authors drag even the beginning student right into the depths of memory allocation so soon. This book isn't too easy, but it's one no student of c can be without, and it's well-written, into the bargain.
