While this is true, I wouldn't wish Knuth on a novice programmer. Nor
Wirth, nor Stroustrup, nor Musser and Saini for that matter. Nor
Schildt, since it's well known his books are inaccurate. Personally I
prefer Bruce Eckel and Al Stevens whenever possible, but I don't think
they've done any books on data structures.
