Knuth uses the MIX programming language thoughout, and if you hope to learn programming by reading this book, you should look elsewhere. Someday we'll have 2^40 registers and that will introduce a new set of problems. And yet we will still be trying to make our programs work faster on some, as yet, uninvented architecture. And people will still be reading Knuth.
A good reference for serious computer science students. Others should look at O'Reilly. That have some really good books.
This is an encyclopedia of what is known about sorting and searching and what computers can do. It is nothing else.
Graduate students in computer science (especially those in theory, algorithms and the occasional compiler fan) will benefit. Hackers will probably not benefit from this book.
