I have been keeping a copy of Donald E. Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming as a reference for few years now. The level of attention to detail is just mind boggling. But the entire book is written for a hypothetical architecture which is like a ASM. Its not only frustrating but makes me skip over pages when I find the reading little painful. I naturally resort to wikipedia for pseudo code or algorithm mentioned in the sections of TAOCP. I would like to see a version of TAOCP upgraded to a more contemporary language or base it on better programming/psuedo-code constructs. Even with these drawbacks, without doubt TAOCP is the best source of reference I know of today.
