    We also went through this decision making process about textbooks
    for our intro courses at SUNY Buffalo. We used Sincovec and Weiner's
    Data Structures book for CS2. However, since then (SP86) we have
    switched to David Riley's books : Intro To CS using Modula2
    and Data Structures using Modula2. These books have been in use
    for two semesters now and students seem to like them a lot.
    (It does have a multi colored priniting which is characteristic
    of some Info. Science type texts, that is because the publisher
    Boyd and Fraser specialized in such texts, and this is their first
    venture into this area).

    The books stick very closely to the prescribed curriculum and I
    like th eorganization of chapters and presentation of the material
    a whole lot better. The books come packaged with a free implementation
    of Modula2 for the PC. The publisher is very responsive. You should look
    into these texts before making a decision.
