I don't know how good that book is, but I read C++ for C programmers by Ira
Pohl and I thought it was awful. I've seen A book on C recommended though.
If you want a solid knowledge of C, than I would have to recommend `The C
programming language' (2nd Edition) by Kernighan & Ritchie. You need to have
a background in programming as it assumes you are not stupid.
