I'm not sure it makes sense any more to teach C to beginners -- by the time someone has a need to write C code, they really ought to have mastered programming in another language or three, first.
Personally, I think a teaching/review ladder would be as or more helpful than a tutorial text. Getting good at C, at least from my current starting point, seems to mostly be a matter of discipline and practice.
I'm thinking of something like this: http://gtl.xmp.net/ http://gtl.xmp.net/
Along those lines ;) I'll probably be releasing code from my first medium-sized C project in a week or so... anyone care to offer tips on how to get more experienced eyeballs on it?

Uh, that's a toughie actually. IRC can be pretty rough.
