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.
Funny thing was, when I put it on my bookshelf, I discovered I already had
a copy. :)

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.
