One of problems with the book that I had is that it is full of bugs,
including ICAN implementations of the algorithms. For example, is it
me or "Smallest_Improper" on Fig 7.45 is badly screwed? E. g. try to
apply it to Fig. 7.49 in the same text...


How about DFS search in Fig. 7.40, in which recursion code is
intermixed with recursion setup? And so on.


BTW, the errata collection on MK web site seems to be way shorter than
it should and apply to some beta version of the book.


Since theoretical desriptions are also nonexistent, I mostly use this
book as thematic bibliography collection...
