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. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
