I have a few books I bought largely for reference material where stuff 
was omitted and left as an exercise to the reader (I'm looking at you, 
Sedgewick!)  Regardless of how easy some of these exercises may be for 
me to solve, it isn't something I'm generally in the mood for when I 
pick up the book at work to check something.  However, this isn't a book 
about algorithms so perhaps this isn't an issue really.
