Summary: A timeless reference in computing, truly a rarity
Comment: In the world of computing the value of nearly every book about the subject goes to zero in three years or less. This book is an exception to that generalization. Even though this edition was published in 1988, it is still heavily used as a reference in the C programming community. When compared to some of the behemoth C programming books published today, it is also surprisingly small, I held it next to a Sams Teach Yourself book and it is approximately 1/4 the width.
Despite the succinctness, it is complete; there have been few times in my career as a C programmer when I failed to find the solution to my question about how you do a particular task in C. Not only did Kernighan and Ritchie do it right when they developed the C language, they also did it right when they wrote the definitive book to explain it.

Summary: Writing harder to read than the code
Comment: Its got good information for sure, and the author is obviously knowledgeable, but in all honesty I had a harder time reading his writing than just reading the code ... far to many obscure / unnecessary words used that do not relate to programming. Flat out I just did not enjoy the read

Summary: Classic Must Own C Book!

this is THE definitive book on The C Programming Language
and also a Classic programming book that set the standard by which all others should be judged.

Summary: C Programming Book
Comment: "The C Programming Language" is a good book overall. I expected it to come in a little better shape, but I can't complain. I trust the source I got it from and would recommend buying one of these if you want the "White Book" for old-time programmers.
