Pretty average content and not academically strong enough. It lacks the depth of proof and detailed technical explanations. I wouldn't call it a computer science book - it seems like a data structure and alg concise guide. There are tons of books if you're serious about Algorithms or Data Structures alone and that won't make you a computer scientist.

Computer Science is a big field that spans many areas of programming, theory and research.



It's enough cs for most practical purposes as a programmer (only from looking at the table of contents so far), which is probably the target audience.
