A good book on C Programming?

[Jon Atkinson]

Wayyy back, when I was first learning C, I learnt it with no other 
experience than a little VisualBASIC/QBasic knowledge. It sounds like 
these books may therefore be a little below your level of ability (if 
you're already a Linux user you'll be pretty savvy anyway), but I found 
Volume I and II or C for Dummies to be a really good resource, if only 
for explaining basic concepts like arrays and basic data types. YMMV 
though, you're probably above that stage.
