The first version of the book is very good (and very expensive), I
wouldn't wait if I were you, the first edition is a great book to
learn from and it is pretty easy to learn the stuff that is new in C99
afterwards.
It is a good book, and it is expensive. Don't overlook browsing in used
bookstores (or abebooks.com -- I just checked: they have a copy for US$23)
if you find the price prohibitive. I picked up my copy, in near mint
condition, at a library booksale for a mere 25 cents (because it's
softcover -- hardcovers go for $1). I had no idea it was such a gem until
I got it home (and apparently some local comp-sci student had no idea what
they were donating away...).
