Sorry for the self-reply, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the all-time
classic C reference, the book that literally defined the language and that I
used so many years ago...

The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, affectionately
known as "K&R" to most software geeks.  It is a very concise book that presents
the language in an easily-digested tutorial format.

http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-2nd/dp/0131103628/sr=8-1/qid=1165505680/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-8340077-2522228?ie=UTF8&s=books

Hope this helps!
