Look this is silly. The book mentioned above is the definitive reference
book on C but it is not a book from which to learn to program in C.
It's a small volume, but the back part is reference and the first part is
instructional.
Try learning to program in Python from the Python Language Reference
Manual.
Talk about silly.
It's a _very_ different book from the Python Language Reference Manual.
