This is one of the best books you can read if you're a C programmer trying to refine your chops. I have bought this book 4 times, and now keep my private PDF all to myself, because every time I loan it to a new C programmer I never get it back. :)

Seriously, if you want to know more about C than you do, I'm pretty sure this book will teach you something.

That said: I'm not sure it should be being posted as a scribd link to HN .. surely this is a violation of terms, unless the author has released it to the public domain?

All PDFs posted to HN are automatically given a scribd link. Scribd is a Y Combinator company.

Did the publisher release this to the public, or is there literally a pirated book climbing the front page on HN?

Looks pirated.

It's a great book, one of my favorites and everyone who works with C should buy it.

I'm not flagging it. Let's bet on how many upvotes it gets before it's nuked. I say 30.

I learnt about this book from useful presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/olvemaudal/deep-c

I have this book on the "top-tier" bookshelf just above my monitor. It's situated between "The UNIX Programming Environment" and "The AWK Programming Language" and couldn't be better company for those classics.

This book converted me to OpenBSD as it was the only OS that has many of the classic build tools mentioned.

I have bought this book, and loaned it out (and never gotten it back)... So I'm definitely keeping this PDF!
