Look for Peter Van Der Linden's _Expert C Programming_. There really are
few 'advanced' C books, as C per se is not particularly arcane. This is
not to say there are no books that deal with advanced programming topics
and either use C or pseudo code that may be implemented in C. What are
you looking for in particular?

There was _The C Puzzle Book_ many years ago, but I haven't seen it
lately. Its primary thrust was pointers. There wasn't any new material,
it just led you through some of the more bewildering lexical constructs
like pointers to arrays of pointers to functions returning pointers
to....
