Indeed.
I consider the K&R C book as the pinnacle of how a book like that should 
be written. Every page, every sentence contains a multitude of 
information and there is no redundancy.

The C book contains in 200 or so pages more useful information than the 
majority of programming books could ever hope to cram in 2000 odd pages.

And they still managed to add some humour...
