Hi,

I'm with Mr. Morris, "The C Programming Language" is not the book to 
learn C for the first time. I remember having a hard time with it when
I was teaching myself how to program in C. I couldn't find in Amazon the 
book I eventually used. But, any book that is gear toward beginners
would do I think.
