K&R 1st Edition vs 2nd Edition
I doubt I'll ever become an expert C programmer, but I decided to check out the K&R book to sharpen my skills and see what supposedly one of the best programming language books is like. I ordered a copy of the second edition through my library, but I received the first edition. 

Is the first edition good to learn from?

Are there significant differences between the editions? 

Should I insist on getting the second edition?
