Yeah. Not only is it the original (well, make sure you get the ANSI C
edition, because you don't really want *too* original), it's very well
written and easy to learn from. There's really no need for another book.

Unless you actually want to learn C++. In some ways, learning C first will
put you at a disadvantage there, because it's easy to develop good C habits
which are bad C++ coding. In that case, I highly, highly recommendd
"Object-Oriented Programming in C++" by Robert Lafore (currently, in its 4th
edition: <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672323087?v=glance>).

It's very well organized, and teaches things clearly.
