K&R still leave some holes in their explanations,
even through the 2nd and 3rd editions.
I also like M.I. Bolsky's _The C Programmer's HandBook_,
Aaron Hillegass _Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X_,
_The Objective-C Programming Language_,
There were some things in the edition just before 2.0
that were very useful, but were edited out of 2.0.
_The Objective-C 2.0 Programming Language_,
_The Objective-C 2.0 Runtime Programming Guide_,
Bert Altenberg, Alex Clake & Philippe Moughin
_Become an XCoder: Start Programming the Mac Using Objective-C_

When learning a new programming language, I prefer
to read at least 3 books on it, since one will
invariably leave holes, and even two might have
been by authors who had worked together or were
of the same school so that they leave the same
holes, but by the time you get to 3 or 4, they're
starting to fill them in. Of course, if you
can afford to take a class with a professor/
instructor who knows how it works in practice
(rather than the rote standard or even internal
documentation of how it's supposed to work and
to be used), and is happy to answer questions
and offer explanations, all the better.
