Poll: Do you know C?
Dumb question: Is the 2nd Edition K&R for about $50 on Amazon worth the coin over the 1st Edition I recently picked up at a thrift store for a buck?
(I also picked up Steele's
C: A Reference Manual
, 4th Ed. for a buck at the same place.)

Nope, the first edition gives the nice approach and if you want anything with more depth than the reference manual, you might as well go a get a copy of e.g. the C99 standard itself.
