Excellent reference and study book

This book is by far the best algorithms book I've read.

Two major reasons for this: the sections include many considerations when choosing algorithms/data structures, and the number of war stories showing how such decisions were made in real situations.

I would recommend this text to anyone that writes software seriously.
