My $.02 worth:

%A Jon Bentley
%T Programming Pearls
%I ( Prentice Hall? Addison Wesley? )

This may not be `strictly' classic, but it is full of those little tidbits
that you usually have to dig for to find in other books of this genre.  I
would rank it up there with Kernighan & Plauger's _Software Tools In Pascal_.

Bentley also wrote a good book about efficient programming (when and when not
to bother optimizing parts of your code, space/time tradeoffs, etc.), but
I'll be damned if I can remember the name!  Anyone out there know?
