Ritchie.

Make sure it is the 2nd edition. In my opinion it is more than worth the
cost.

Also bookmark http://c-faq.com/ and when you have a question about C
that you cannot answer from K&R go there first. If you cannot find, or
find but cannot understand, what K&R and the FAQ say then ask here and
people will help.

I strongly suggest you keep your copy of the 1st edition and look after
it. It is interesting from a history perspective and possibly enough
people will not look after there copies for it to become valuable one day.

It is!

After I lost my copy of K&R2, I bought another one.
After I found my lost copy of K&R2, I traded it for a K&R.
