[comp.lang.c] Good C Book

I find Stephen Kochan's "Programming In C" to be a good book for
beginners.  Not to much on double pointers and complex stuff like
a static array of pointers to functions returning integers(yeah right.....).
Then again, neither does 'k & r'.  I was hoping for some one to come
out with a advanced C programming book. I've seen titles that claim
to be advanced, but they only have open/read/write type stuff and that's
in k&r. The index in k&r is terrible.

I agree. It's too bad so few bookstores choose to carry it.
