It actually isn't THAT bad. I just checked again (couldn't remember the
paper quality) and it turns out the one I already have is a K&R syntax,
first edition (1978).
I'd like to get a white cover ANSI version, but I'm not spending $44 on
it.

Last year I bought a copy of the ANSI version. Turns out it was the
green cover, "not for sale outside of asia" copy. Same content though.
Ahh, but printed on crappy thin paper? I hate those.
I just checked and the paper isn't that bad.
I tried to learn C from a variety of books and got
nowhere. I bought K&R
and it all made sense within an hour. Yes, it's expensive, and it's
not a
thick book, but it's well worth the money...
I learned C from the original K&R book as well. It's an amazingly
good book to learn from. I was intimidated by C initially, but the
K&R book made it all easy.
Even now, every time I come across someone who "doesn't understand
pointers" because they're "too hard" (WTF? one of the simplest
concepts in computing!), I teach them via the K&R book, and they "get
it" almost immediately.
Funny thing
was, when I put it on my bookshelf, I discovered I already
had a copy. :)
ROFL!!
