[edit] Should this entry exist?
"Many insist that this book is an essential text for any programmer's bookshelf.". Unless you can find a source for this I suggest it be removed. Also, I don't see why this text should be singled out as notable amongs all data structures and algorithms books, Weiss for example is far more famous and I see no entry on this. 152.78.196.32 14:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I would agree with the quote, and so would the programmers I know. It's an excellent book. --68.183.113.4 04:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- I would agree with it, too; but I don't think such a quote is NPOV enough for Wikipedia -- particularly without a citation. -- Mikeblas 05:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

- So it becomes NPOV when *someone else* says it? Using an outside source's bias doesn't make it "neutral." While I agree with that this book is an essential book, the only citation valid for this would be some sort of poll or something. 67.188.7.78

- No, 67. I'm looking for a survey or set of interviews; that's the only way to support a claim like "many insist". Oh -- exactly as you, yourself, end up suggesting. -- Mikeblas 14:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
