The first reviewer missed the division of Flamig's work. He split the work into two books, Practical Data Structures and Practical Algorithms. I recommend both books to my computer science students for their work. Flamig does not talk about regular expressions = FSA, but that is a not too important to me.

This book is the single best introduction to practical computer algorithms that I've found, book, magazine, or otherwise. While the code is all C++ (good code style too), the information is easily understood and represented in Java or another object-oriented language. Highly recommended for new or experienced developers.

This is not one of those highly academic books that analyze a particular problem and solution in agonizing detail but don't really give you any useful source code. Its got useful code with brief but thorough discussions of the pro/cons/gotchas. I picked up this book because I need a CRC algorithm -- not difficult to do, but I was very pressed for time -- and it took me all of 10 minutes to find the particular version of...
