I've bought the Rationale (but not the standard).  According to the
data in the book, it is published by Silicon Press, and has ISBN
0-929306-07-4.  The address given in the book is

	Silicon Press
	25 Beverly Road
	Summig, NJ 07901, USA

It cost me 80 Finnish marks, which is about 16 US dollars, but that
was when the store was trying to get rid of it.  It is a thinnish book
(about 120 pages), white cover, about two centimeters higher than K&R.
The full title is "Rationale for the ANSI C Programming Language".

I don't know if it is still available.

Incidentally, that store---one of the best in Finland---hadn't ever
even heard of the standard itself.  Sigh.  But on the other hand, they
have shelves of books that claim that NULL is defined as '\0' in
<stdlib.h> and there only, or other stupid things like that. :-(
