5.0 out of 5 stars Knuth's just getting better, March 9, 2010

This review is from: The Art of Computer Programming, Vol. 4, Fascicles 0-4 (5 Volume Set) (Paperback)
Though I have retired from the computer programming industry I find that Knuth's latest chapter of The Art of Computer Programming to be more than informative. This chapter is in standing with his previous works in that it a pleasure to read. Knuth has injected history and humor into a subject that is complex and difficult to fully grasp in a first read. Knuth's work is an absolute must have for any individual involved in computer programming today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Any Knuth book is great reading, August 30, 2009

This review is from: The Art of Computer Programming, Vol. 4, Fascicles 0-4 (5 Volume Set) (Paperback)
Everyone knows Donald Knuth and everyone knows the quality of his work and writing. Just like fine art, a Donald Knuth book has long lasting value, unlike most books that people in technology encounter. I only wish the publishers would also acknowledge this and publish these books as hardcovers instead of easily damaged paperbacks. The price would seem to also demand a hardcover as well.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Computer Programming, Vol. 4, Fascicles 0-4 (5 Volume Set) (Paperback)
Nothing can be written better than the comment on the back cover: this work is "the definitive description of classical computer science" It is very pleasant to read surely also for people from other fields
