Kinda hard to use NSRanges, NSPoints and all the similar stuff without knowing them ;)

Nevertheless, truth is things like unions or bitfields can be moved to some Appendix F, and the pointer/array stuff can be taken quite lightly (plain C arrays can easily be taught at same level as, say, ObjC protocols:
not needed for first steps, and that's a fact). Moreover, all C books I know do at least atdio or more as well, which can be skipped too.

Well find the publisher, and I'll happily write your book ;)
