Aside of an "advanced" C book, I highly recommend _C Traps and
Pitfalls_ by Andrew Koenig ISBN 0-201-17928-8.  I believe it's still
in print.  

Advanced C programming is a wonderful thing.  Better still is an
awareness of the pitfalls of syntax.  I found that once I was aware of
the gory details of syntax, it became much easier to write effective,
reliable, and readable code.
