I have recently run into:
*The C Primer* by Les Hancock & Morris Krieger
McGraw-Hill ISBN 0-07-025981-X
Its introduction states (reprinted without permission):
"A primer is a book for beginners. This primer is intended
for those programmers who, while they may know something
about programming, know nothing whatever about the C language;
and the amount of programming knowledge we do assume our
readers have is minimal."
>From a cursory inspection, it appears to live up to its premise.

#R:allegra:-175400:uiucuxc:21000003:000:256 uiucuxc!hamilton Aug 21 17:16:00 1983 along the same line is "C Notes" by C T Zahn, from Yourdon Press. it's a 100-page paperback for about the same price as K&R's. i haven't gone thru it cover-to-cover, so i can't say how useful it might be; the parts i have looked at were correct, at least.
