So you want us to tell you where you can steal this book from? I think you're in the wrong forums. We'll help with questions and even suggest helpful books but we won't help in theft.

Not sure if it's good for a true newbie
I've been using Linux on and off for about 8 years. To gain some mastery of this I went to my local library and got. The Unix Programming Environment by Kernighan and Pike, and The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie. Two classic texts, from the Fathers of Unix and C. Hope this helps.

And break the law by abusing copyright laws?

Support the authors and purchase books rather than downloading them - nobody here is going to help you break the law.

Thanks
