Please introduce a good book

I have written a tutorial intoruction available at no cost from

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32

It comes with a compiler and development system so that you can
start programming in C fairly quickly.

Does it come with a free Windows and MS Office licence? What part
of the OP's message says that he's a Windows/MS Office user?

It's not exactly the best reference book for someone wanting to study
the C language. If you don't already know C, you're not going to make
much sense out of the C standard.

The best (although not easiest) reference is the Standard, to be had
from ISO or your national standards bureau. A cheap (because free)
alternative, which is probably good enough for students, is the last
public draft of the Standard, which can be downloaded at
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n869/>. It is not
exactly the same as the final Standard, but the differences are small
enough that it will do for studying.
Finally, the best learning book is K&R 2, hands down.
The C Programming Language
Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie
ISBN: 0131103628

I've seen worse, but perhaps that's the nasty thing about it. It is not
a C introduction, it is an lcc introduction. _Most_ of the early
material is about C. But in 1.22, for example, it introduces findfirst()
and findnext() without the slightest hint that these are not C, but M$VC
functions which lcc has adopted.
It could be a much more reliable and useful resource if it indicated
exactly where discussion of C ends and discussion of system-specific
features started. As it is, I could only recommend this to someone who
wants to be locked into lcc, and never use another compiler.

Well to get information about top rated C books published between 1990 and 2000

That is simply not true! The site is primarily the opinion of one man,
Francis Glassborow, on the suitability of some books. He has some very
strong, biases on what is and what is not important in a book. To him
standards are the be all and end all of programming. An author who does not
share this fetish will be severely down graded. If you wear a green
eyeshade or like to count beans, these reviews are for you.

The reviews are much too short to be meaningful and even if they were
longer, they are written using the argot of the professional programmer.
This stuff is not readable and meaningful to a neophyte. He is left with a
simplistic "recommended" or "not recommended" (perhaps implicit) that is,
IMNSHO quite often dead wrong.

IMHO,
The reference book for C would be:
The C Programming Language
Second Edition
by Brian W. Kernighan,Dennis M. Ritchie
published by Pearson Education

If you are a learner, then you might want to try
a few introductory books like:
Schaum's Outline of Programming with C
by Byron S. Gottfried
published by: McGraw-Hill

To go really deep,
C Unleashed (Unleashed)
by Richard Heathfield, et al.
published by: SAMS

Thank you. I want to purchase C standard instantly.
