Outstanding value

A typically lucid and well-written book by NYU's Dennis Shasha. It is now 17 years old, but with the exception of a section on databases of the day, the material is still perfectly relevant. One may want to check out more specialized books, but this is an excellent general introduction for a bargain-basement price.
