I never understood JKG's fascination with this book or why it was used in CS2430 / CS2330 (we ought to have given them Church's Introduction to Mathematical Logic, hardcopy of the SYSV man pages, and a party pack of trucker pills, sigh).

Forget about Knuth's voluminous series. This is a great book that focuses on the important points. The jewel is the chapter on data structures.
