    where can I get K&R C 1st edition

    Hi

    I'm looking for something historically on the C programming language, and want to check out the C programming language 1st edition. I know it's pretty old. I can't find any online doc or download ebook on the web. So can anyone help me on this book?
    BTW, I just want a free version, so amazon is not what I need.

    THANKS!

    If you're not going to buy it, I suggest your local library.
    You ever try a pink golf ball, Wally? Why, the wind shear on a pink ball alone can take the head clean off a 90 pound midget at 300 yards.

    You might look in a museum, down with the other archaeological artifacts.
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}

    Your right about it being hard to find.

    The best I could find is 9780131101630: C Programming Language - AbeBooks - Kernighan, Brian W.;Ritchie, Dennis M.: 0131101633 There seems to be some pretty good deals there, considering Amazon's price.
