If, for nothing else, Programmers At Work has Bill Gates talking about dumpster diving for program listings.
The book is great - I love how Gary (IIRC) describes the centrality of data structures and how code kind of emerges from there.

The 2nd part reminds me of another in my personal library:
Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs
by Wirth
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5191055M/Algorithms_data_str...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_%2B_Data_Structures...
Wirth writes fast but well.
It was a very compact hardcover edition that I could carry around easily in my backpack.
And it had a memorable title.
Data Structures and Algorithms
by Aho, Hopcroft, and Ullman
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL3491774M/Data_structures_and...
but I own copies of both.
Aho et al. was also given in Modula-3 which was perfect since Pascal-derived languages clearly motivate the why and the guts of the algos. C obscures them (too focused on pragmatism).
Wirth's DS + A = P book was also written in Modula-2, a better, real-world language, and the writing was tightened. Still can be found if you know where to look. (I have a German edition cuz I wanted to hear the man say it in his native language-- btw, I am not German).
