Best book on C?

Well, I'm no C 'guru', but I've been real happy with my book 
'Topics in C Programming' by Stephen Kochan and Pat Wood. (ISBN # 
0-672-46290-7).  It conatins references for libraries, system calls,
curses, make, and debugging.  It is NOT a book designed to teach C, 
it pretty much assumes you know C - just a reference manual of sorts.
Of course, K&R still provides the best book to learn C from.  (It may not
be too 'friendly', but it is complete and definitive.)
