It is also very handy if you need to flatten a small (< 2 kg) household pet.

or your ego :)
I always say college was very practical learning as at different points in time I was able to kill a mouse with both algorithms (this very book) and computer architecture.
It took you 2 books to kill 2 mice, but I'm sure with more observations it would have been obvious that your approach was actually O(logN).
It would be bad to have a book about multiple trees which implemented less than 1 tree in its printed form.
Implemented? I don't think it implements tree, so much as inherits from tree.
On the upside, it is really cheap by weight.
I'm not a big fan of that book. For all its weight its still surprisingly informal.
