Dr. Dobb's Essential Book on Data Structure and Algorithms

It has all the classic considered by "Dr. Dobb's ".  It doesn't include Sedgewick and TAOCP.  Out of the 9, I only has 2 and I think it should be more than enough.  In fact, just CLRS, TAOCP, Sedgewick and Programming Pearl will take anyone "a while" to study through.
