This expanded and updated second edition of a classic bestseller continues to take the "mystery" out of designing and analyzing algorithms and their efficacy and efficiency. Expanding on the highly successful formula of the first edition, the book now serves as the primary textbook of choice for any algorithm design course while maintaining its status as the premier practical reference guide to algorithms.
NEW: (1) Incorporates twice the tutorial material and exercises. (2) Provides full online support for lecturers, and a completely updated and improved website component with lecture slides, audio and video. (3) Contains a highly unique catalog of the 75 most important algorithmic problems. (4) Includes new "war stories" and "interview problems", relating experiences from real-world applications.
Written by a well-known, IEEE Computer Science teaching-award winner, this new edition is an essential learning tool for students needing a solid grounding in algorithms, as well as a uniquely comprehensive text/reference for professionals.

I've got the Cormen book as well, which I love. This book is a much more readable text, by far. I think that others here have broken down the areas covered quite well; so I'll just give a stream of consciousness version of what I liked about the book.
It gives the subject matter with from a need to know standpoint. It also gives you real world examples of how the author has had to utilize algorithms not just to implement a particular solution, but to also optimize existing solutions. Although it doesn't give the hardcore theoretical breakdowns in Cormen's text, don't think that the subject matter is presented in a lightweight format. You will still be given some level of mathematical proof for some algorithms and data structure optimizations.
Although less terse than the typical text on Algorithms, it doesn't try too hard to be cute and quirky. The humor is well placed and not too overbearing.
Though less academic than "Introduction To Algorithms", this ain't the book to pickup to learn about coding algorithms for a quick study prior to an interview. However, if you're planning to get ready for interviews maybe a few months down the road...go for it!
A caveat...I got the Kindle version for the Android, which is none too forgiving when it comes to images. So diagrams look horrible on the phone (even with the DroidX's big-assed screen). It looks fine on the laptop, however.
Enjoy!

My Dad loved to cook and one of his favorite cookbooks was "The Joy of Cooking." By the time he died, the pages of his copy were stained and dusted with flour from being constantly used in his kitchen.
Why did he like it so much? Because not only did it have great recipes, it also explored the basic ingredients and methods and told interesting stories about cooking.
That's why "The Algorithm Design Manual" could be called "The Joy of Algorithms." Not only has it become my "goto" book for finding the right algorithmic approach to a problem, it is a joy to read with Skiena's "war stories" and his lively writing style.
Just like my Dad's "The Joy of Cooking" was never far from his stove, "The Algorithm Design Manual" will never be far from my computer.
