|K&R is the definitive source on C programming, and I can't think of
|anything else to recommend to readers who find that text a little terse.
|Finding another book published by Addison Wesley is probably a good bet
|should you need to find one.

I forgot, Steele and Harbison is another often-recommended book.  I've never
read it, though, so I can't really comment.


|As for ORA's Make book, it's actually quite old.  It spends a lot
|of time talking about differences between various berkeley and system V
|make implementations, as well as a handful of other (once) commonly used
|make(1) replacements.  All in all, that book is primarily of historical
|interest at this point in time.  (Yes, I bought a copy before coming to
|this conclusion, unfortunately.)

Gee, when I bought my copy six years ago, it was pretty handy... ;)  I
didn't realize things had changed so much (I've been stuck in various IDEs
for so long, I can't remember the last time I wrote a makefile :( ).
