Same here, I came in to post about that exact book.
There's also Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design which I have yet to read. http://www.amazon.com/Pearls-Functional-Algorithm-Design-Ric...
In general you've got stuff like Introduction to Algorithms (http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Corme...) and the Algorithm Design Manual (http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/...) both of which I have seen mentioned as good books. I'm in a grad school-level algorithms class that just started using the former (which is language agnostic, but we are doing our implementations in Java) and it looks pretty good to me.

i always liked http://www.amazon.com/The-Functional-Approach-Programming-Co... although it's quite old and uses ml (caml - imagine it's similar to ocaml, or even f#). in fact, i preferred it to SICP.
Can you or anyone else recommend more books related to FP algorithms, concepts in general (which are not necessarily language specific)?
