I'm thinking of asking for a book on C programming as a belated Christmas present from my parents (long story, I'll tell you guys later). However, I've only ever found one good book on C, and that's a book called 'C by Example'. So, before I made my request I wanted to check with all you wonderful C programmers out here who have much more knowledge than I do, and might be able to offer a good title (or titles) that would be superior to the only example I've seen thus far. Many thanks in advance for you help, and Merry Christmas.

that's nice man,i do most of my coding in c++ but i'd recommend the book written by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie,they are the creators of the c language itself at bell labs,the books name is "the c programming language" anyways here is the link:

About 90% of the time this question is asked, everybody says "C By Example" so I would say your pretty safe with that. I have a copy and it has served as an excellent reference.
