Hallo,
None of the books reviewed at that URL,
have a rating which indicates
whether they are considered to be better or worse than K&R2.
Sure, that's because it wouldn't make any sense at all.
In my opinion, Nikolai Bezroukov (see
http://www.softpanorama.org/Bookshelf/index.shtml) gives some good
tips/recommondations on the "how to buy a good book?"-topic.
How do you know if a certain C book is better for Eirik (than whatever,
doesn't matter at all) or not? If you don't know Eirik personally well,
you don't know which book he might like better than TCPL. Of course you
could claim, that /you/ liked $foo better than TCPL.
Further, most people I know don't own a copy of TCPL, but that doesn't
mean that they don't know other good C books for beginners (which Eirik
might like check out).
For me it doesn't make sense to discuss something like that further, if
you want, have fun.
Wolfgang.
