I made a trip down to ye local library earlier today to check out a
particular book on C programming, the White Bible. Well, along the way, I
also noticed another book on the shelf that caught my eye on C programming.
I flipped through it, then realized that I should check it out too.

It's called Personal Computing and C, written by John A. Gainsborough

Not only does it cover C, but it covers specifically Manx Aztec C on the
Apple DOS 3.3 operating system (as well as the PC too).

The edition I have is dated 1985, published by Ashton-Tate Publishing Group.
The ISBN is 0-912677-45-7

Excerpt from the back:
"You begin by exploring compilers. The practical examples show new C
programmers how to use compilers with the CP/M, Apple/DOS, and MS/PC-DOS
operating systems. The author discusses compiled languages versus
interpreted languages, choosing a compiler, steps in compiling, and running
a program using a compiler.

Next, a step-by-step guide demonstrates the basics of programming in C,
including displaying and manipulating data, creating and using function
libraries, and working with the C preprocessor."
