Ouch.

I will confess that I have not read that one.  But I have read several of his
books and he has no concern with correctness and accuracy.

Herbert Schildt is the worst C book author on the planet, without any question.

Perhaps he has changed his spots over the years.  It would be great if he did.

His style is lively and engaging.  It is very easy to absorb all that he says.
Unfortunately, half of it is just plain wrong.
