The books that I have seen by Jack Purdum were published by QUE( Indianapolis).
The last phone number I have on them is 800-428-5331.

The books that I have of his are "C Programming Guide" and "C Programmer's Library".  I highly recommend the first one if you are very new to C and found K&R a bit too overwelming.  Then tackle K&R.  I think the Guide is in its third 
edition.
