A comprehensible but not very profound book

The book is quite comprehensible also if English is not your mother tongue.

Many algorithms are touched on, but often not profound enough to allow programers to implement the methods. Also the subtitle "The Complete Reference" is questionable: I bought the book because I was looking for facts about the Elias-Willems algorithm. In vain!
