"A classic but I'm not quite sure why it was posted?"
and why is it getting so many upvotes? Extending this approach, if anyone is looking for free karma, just post separate links to all the classic CS books, without any comments or added explanation (3 separate submissions for the TAOCP Knuth books ;-)). Lots of karma for the taking ;-)
now that this is on the front page, here is something interesting. There's a 1000 $ prize for designing a cover for the third edition (see top right hand corner of teh page). The cover of the first two editions are very dense with references to AI history. If I could draw worth a damn I would have taken a shot at it.
