If you have the 4th edition, you have 95% of the 5th edition.
One of the better C programming textbooks

This is one the best C textbooks out there on the market currently. I just use the C part of the text for my classes. As mentioned above most of the text is the same as the previous edition(s) except this edition has:
1. Game Programming
2. Eliminated the Java stuff
3. More on C99
Wish it was a strictly C book (no C++ sections in it)
Excellent teaching text, great reference!

This was a required text for a "C" programming language course I took at my University. This text is very clear about the basics of programming with the "C" language, which is a spring-board language that will allow you to quickly learn about other programming languages such as C+ and Java. I took this course over the summertime and had to miss the first two weeks of class while on a business trip and this textbook did an excellent job of teaching me the basics for me to succeed and receive an "A" in the course. I highly recommend this textbook as both a teaching text and a reference.
