I find my problem mapping methodology often leads me to remember these three books:

Aho and Ullmann: Foundations of Computer Science (old but really, really, really good)

Steven Skiena: Algorithm Design Manual

Abelson: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

After a quick search, this came up:

Foundations of Computer Science, full book: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html

Also turns out Skiena's website is a very large resource!
