Last I heard (around 2000), they had not decided whether to write a
third edition but had no plans to do so. If anyone has heard anything
more recently, please share.

C: A Reference Manual 5th edition is highly recommended, it is more of
a reference than a textbook but everything is well-covered and
thoroughly explained with examples and details. It covers C99, C89,
and traditional C.

C Programming: A Modern Approach is a highly regarded textbook, the
second edition will cover C99 and is due out any time now. The first
edition covers C89.
