I agree one should stay away from most "learn x in 21 days"
books.  They tend to read like they were written in 21 days.
There are a couple of notable exceptions but none, that I know
of, having to do with C code.
There, there's K&R, although their viewpoint is notably old,
particularly lacking in a discussion of ANSI C and environments
having huge memories or huge file systems.  
There's an excellent tutorial work by Patrick Winston titled
"On to C", but it's not complete.  If you're sophisticated in
other programming languages or assembly, you could do with the
Winston book and then follow it up with Harrison and Steele's
"C -- a reference manual" (4th edition).  
Failing that, just hop on over to http://www.amazon.com/ and
do a search.  The trouble with that is you may be deluged.
Just be finicky.  
Only other place I can think of is the O'Reilly series.
