I refer to this book regularly, as it is a good introductory reference and contains plenty of literature citations.
Some of the more recent algorithms are yet to be described in it, but having it available is invaluable for the field. Sadly, I cannot use this as an excuse to bring out the old joke about this work "filling a much needed gap in the literature". In fact, a book of this kind has been "much needed" for some time. Bill.
