I'm probably not the right one to be posting a response to this,
but I have time, so why not? There's Design and Analysis of
Algorithms by Aho, Hopcroft, and, Ullman. It reads OK. Usually
taught in a computer science class. Requires some background
(a little set theory, etc). There's a book called Algorithmics.
Not as much on specific algorithms, but talks about it at
a general level. Appears to be geared to non-CS folks. There's
a new book called Introduction to Algorithms or Algorithms
(can't remember which), and the only author I recall is Rivest
(there are three). This may be the book to get. It's new,
and chock full of algorithms. Nice pictures too.
