Its three published volumes, one work in progress and two or three to be
done.
Knuth covers the basics of Computer Science (as opposed to mere
programming). Understanding the fundamentals has always seemed to be
necessary, IMHO, even if you never need to actually implement a
quicksort. Knowing the various options you have and when they should be
used is always useful.
