This will not teach you C.  It's a good reference but K&R is no way to learn 
the language.  If you're looking for a good C book then check the various 
online bookshops for references and then head to Boffins (Hay Street) or 
Dymocks Technical bookshop (Wesley Arcade) and buy it there.  One place or 
the other are likely to have it available if it's any good.

If you're a programming novice then check out the C for dummies books.  
They'll hold your hand enough to get you to a level where 'real' manuals 
aren't gobbligook.
