Some recommended (not required) books on the C programming language:
This unit focuses on the ANSI/ISO-C11 Programming Language.
While drafts on this most recent standard appeared in the mid-1990s,
very few textbooks began to seriously focus on C99 until after 2005,
and even fewer focus on C11 today.
Obviously, a book into its 3rd, or higher edition, will have corrected
many errors from its earlier editions, and very likely have included
up-to-date descriptions of the current state of the C programming language.
Online bookstores, such as Amazon,
also include many reviews by their customers.

Some advanced books on C:
If you are already a strong programmer in Java or even C, then these books will be suitable for you.
Do not purchase one of these as a first textbook on C.
Some Reference Materials on C:
These are not materials or textbooks from which you will be able to learn C from scratch.
They are listed here because they are often cited, well respected, definitive references on the C Programming Language. If you have a serious interest in the C Programming Language (or if you're a pedant) you may be interested in one of these (perhaps a secondhand copy).
Do not purchase one of these as a first textbook on C.
