Should be back in print.

I first found this book when I was searching for a small reference, it had already gone out of print. After owning it for several years, I can't believe that this book ever went out of print -- every C developer should have a copy. Concise, terse, and highly informative -- it's everything you would want in a small reference book. Even in the age of easily-accessable and searchable documentation, from sources such as the internet, this book remains a gem.

Excellent Pocket Reference

Haven't you always wanted a C pocket reference without all the hoop-de-la explanations that make it impossible to locate something quickly? Well, this one does it. I rarely go back to my C textbook with this little book. I have seen other mini-books in the same category that do not come close to this one. All native functions are listed with their header files, too. It's great for any and all who can never remember where they put their car keys !

Don't sit down to write code without it.

This is not a tutorial, it is a reference. It is the handiest C reference book I have ever owned, and I have a LOT of C books. This book is small, concise, and indispensable. It does not try to teach you the language; rather it is a book to keep at your side when coding, so you don't have to remember the order of all those arguments or the return values from all those functions. Too bad it is out of print...
