Cheaper still, and more effective...

Pick up the book "learning C" by Augie Hansen. Yes, it's a
Microsoft Press book, but it includes a tutorial disk with sample
programs and a well thought out approach that applies almost 100%
to the Borland compiler, in terms of teaching the language and it's
use.

You will still have to RTFM the Borland Manuals, but you will find
them more usefull after taking a brief trip through this course.
