Illustrating C Revised Edition
Using his unique formula--original and readable prose combined with graphics and calligraphy--Donald Alcock revolutionizes the teaching of the C programming language. A special feature of the layout of the book is the double-page spread: each one covers a particular topic making the book useful as a reference manual. This revised edition has benefited from many corrections and updates, and has now been printed in a wide-page format for ease of use. This book is an excellent introduction to standard (ANSI) C, and will provide a reference manual for beginning programmers, computer enthusiasts, and students.

I got an "A" in my C course. And I used 5 text books. The ONLY textbook that really helped was Alcock's "Illustrating C". It uses diagrams in a truly "revolutionary" way that really helps understanding. It's like moving from black and white to colour.
The intention is to provide the student with a set of course notes, complete with instructor black-board diagrams, only better. It really works. It's enjoyable. Did I mention I got an "A"? I hope that other textbook writers pick up on Mr. Alcock's unique style!
