I just found my copy over the weekend - definitely looks like a first
edition.
I also found my copy of Bjarne Stroustrup's C++ book which also looks

I think a lot of us will have learned C from the K&R book, and I think
there's still a lot to be said for it.

Another good point about C is that GCC gives very useful compiler
