I'm not sure that there are any books out yet that cover the 2011 ISO C
standard (unless you count the standard itself, of course).

A book that covers the 1999 standard would likely be better than a book
from 1991.

Note that not all compilers even support the 1999 standard; Microsoft in
particular has expressed a lack of interest in supporting any standard
past the 1990 one.  (Ignore anyone who claims that this statement
indicates any dislike for C99; it's just something to be aware of.)
