It's not just a 'recommendation'. Schildt wrote an annotation book about C and
his remark were provably (sp?) full of mistakes and misleadings. While I can't
really recommend a good C/C++ book for beginners (but there's plenty of info
about that on the net) I think that it's important that beginners don't read
books which contain provable wrong information for the sake of simplicity. (or
it will take 10 years afterwards to explain to them why void main(void) is not
ANSI-C, even if Mr Schildt says so)
