In search of a good book on Algorithms

As far as I can tell, there are no released books on algorithms for C#. I'm looking for a good general (best in C or Java?) , comprehensive book on Data Structures and Algorithms, and was wondering if anyone out there could make a reccomendation...

Thanks in advance!

Wow, this seems to be a hot topic lately. Where were these questions when I was looking for the same thing a while back. Basically I couldn't find much, but that does not mean others can't help. In the mean time, check out this free book, http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus6/

Jim! Thanks... This is what I'm looking for, just in a book form.. Since I plan to bone up on this stuff in general, I want to get my hands on a real book to read in bed.

Brendan -- did you ever find a print equivalent for this book?

We could always run this web c# Algorithms site through CafePress to create a physical book:
