Hello all,

I'm looking at books on algorithm design, and would love some recommendations. =) Algorithm Design by Kleinman/Tardos looks okay, as does Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen/Leiserson, but both are seriously like a hundred dollars.

Why not The Art of Computer Programming? Vols 1-3 + 4A in a box set from Amazon for USD 109? Worth every cent, and cheaper than buying the volumes independently. Also very likely to contain fewer mistakes than any other textbook, given Mr Knuth's unique approach to error-finding. Fun, Stephan
