BTW, I still think it's one of the best beginners books on C and it's
about a quarter of the thickness of most modern ones.


There's second hand copies available on Amazon.  With such responses I'm 
tempted to part with a tenner for a second hand copy.

"All of that said, many of the skills are transferable between languages." 


I think that is my ultimate aim. I like learn enough about something to 
be able to find my way around, do trouble shooting, cobble together 
examples into a working project etc. but I never seem to go totally deep 
in to one particular area.  'Jack of all trades, master of none' springs 
to mind which has its advantages and disadvantages.

I suppose I'm looking for something that could come in handy but also 
provides a solid foundation for any future projects I may embark on.
