Yes, Let Us C by Yashwant Kanetkar is good for beginners.
For advanced programming, Object Oriented Programming in Turbo C++ by Robert Lafore is good.
For free e-books, google search can help u.

I wud say start with Let us C by Yashwant Kanetkar.
It will clear ur basics pretty fairly and then u wont need any books, u will start to master it.
to know the strength of c, u can even read c projects by yashwant kanetkar.

I dont think these books are legally available for downloads. But they are pretty cheap. 180/- for Let Us C and 350/- for C Projects.
There is a cheaper version of C Projects which comes without a disk

let him learn C first then C++... dude first scan all pages of Kanitkar if u r a newbie then it will take you 20 to 30 days...

Then try ur brain on "Test Ur C Skills" and "C under Dos test" if u come out successfully with it having enough confidence then go to some "C" forum solve some issues there....

Then move to C++...

Coz Strong Base is a must.... If ur C is strong then u can cramp C++ like a ground nut ;)

May I suggest to you -

The C Programming Language

by Brian W. Kernighan And Dennis M. Ritchie

I've read many books for C, even Let us C and Programming in ANSI C by E Balagurusamy, but I couldn't find a book to match the The C Programming Language. And anyways, who can give you a better and more detailed explanation than the developer of the language himself? I suggest you go for the second edition.

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)

First Kanetkar, if you are a total newbie to programming.
then Balgursamy,
Third comes Robert Lafore.

Dennis Ritchie is a good book but only after reading the above three :D
