I used it very much when coded in C, and sometimes use it now.Just do remember it's a sort of template for C program. it's not a refernce, and not a textbook. It's unique. Even those "distilled" books I read, can't compare with Bolsky's distillation :) I dream to have its copycats for C++, Java and OOP. Maybe I'll write it :)
Somebody liked my copy so much they stole it!!

This book has given me the most use that I could get out of a book on C. Concise and to the point. I especially like the ASCII chart in the back. A real handbook not some 50 pound behemouth to carry around. Buy it you will not regret it!
concise and convenient....warning: causes nostalgia!

This extremely old-school C manual comes from 1985, when ATT still ruled the Unix roost. It appears to be some kind of internal training manual. It is well-written and gets right to the point. If you thought K&R was a distillation of the language, well this is a distillation of K&R. AND IT IS SPIRAL BOUND! Stays open. All in all it will make you very happy, and you will miss the old days when life was simple. I use it alot.
