A word of warning to anyone reading "The Algorithm Design Manual", there is an error on nearly every other page.

To be fair, the second link you provided is for the 3rd edition and lists something like 20 errors (including typos, etc.) for a book of approximately 800 pages.
Can you recommend an alternative?
This is astonishing. I was considering ordering that book, thank you.
thanks for the heads up ! it would be good to see how many one can spot in their own reading.
