Two choices come to mind: "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan 
and Ritchie (they created C), or "How to Program C" by Deitel and 
Deitel. The first book is less expensive, but the treatment of the 
language is very basic (not a lot of examples). The second is more 
expensive (around $55 US) but is much better at teaching a newbie how 
to program C (many more examples, exercises at the end of chapters, 
etc: almost like a college textbook.)


My two cents,
