C: A Reference Manual (5th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: A great and useful reference
Review: Where I work we use C, Java, and C++... in that order of frequency. Many people have several years of C experience doing real work: cross platform CAD software. So it is a tribute to the quality of this text that other programmers borrow my copy of it often enough to force me to track it down when I want it.

It is concise, accurate, and the examples are useful.

Why only 4 stars? Well, I reserve that for books that help the reader change paradigms of thinking and working, or apprehend new ones to address problems for which they had no solution paradigm.

It's a reference, one that is terse enough to be useful and not so terse as to be opaque.
