The closest you can get is the draft of the next standard. The cheapest buy you will get for the original ANSI standard is Herbert Schildts 'The annotated C standard', which cost about $30 less than the non-annotated standard. The rumours say that the publisher took the original price and added the value of the annotations to end up at that price. (In other words, you're better off using white-out on the annotations than reading them.) Eivind.
