I'd disagree - C  for  embedded apps, especially on 8-bit targets, has some very important
limitations that aren't typically covered by general C books, which don't tell you what to NOT do to
in order to make things fit and run effifciently in small systems. 

 A book aimed specifically at embedded apps (on any target CPU) will provide valuable information.
Many of the C compiler vendors have appnotes and guides, and even if you're not using their product,
much of the information and techniques will be generally applicable.
