It might just be me, but I've had considerable problems finding a M2 text I'm
happy with for the `traditional' data structures course. I've just received
one, however, that looks excellent and I'm planning on using it next year:

`Abstract Data Types in Modula-2' by R. Harrison (John Wiley, 1989)

The title indicates it's emphasis on ADTs. Many of the ADTs developed in
the book have a strong functional programming flavour which suits me but
isn't probably for everyone.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually used the book yet ... with textbooks, first love
often dies in the trenches of the classroom.
