\subsubsection{Competitive programming books}
There are already some books (besides this book) that
concentrate on competitive programming and algorithmic problem solving:
\begin{itemize}
\item S. Halim and F. Halim:
\emph{Competitive Programming 3: The New Lower Bound of Programming Contests}, 2013
\item S. S. Skiena and M. A. Revilla:
\emph{Programming Challenges: The Programming Contest Training Manual},
Springer, 2003
\item \emph{Looking for a Challenge? The Ultimate Problem Set from
the University of Warsaw Programming Competitions}, 2012
\end{itemize}
The first two books are intended for beginners,
whereas the last book contains advanced material.
\subsubsection{General algorithm books}
Of course, general algorithm books are also suitable for
competitive programmers.
Some good books are:
\begin{itemize}
\item T. H. Cormen, C. E. Leiserson, R. L. Rivest and C. Stein:
\emph{Introduction to Algorithms}, MIT Press, 2009 (3rd edition)
