Title: Academic NOT How-To
Review: This is a great book. Yes, I too first thought it was terrible because it is NOT a 21 Days for Morons type of book. This book covers 95% of everything there is to know about C. It is all there. My 3rd ed is extremely well worn. There is a reason this book is chosen by universities. It has real, useful code. If you were to program up all the examples in this book, you'd have yourself a nice little library of functions. Multi-dimensional dynamic arrays, numerical methods, data structures. All useful in future classes and on the job for those who program real C and not "Hello, World!"
