This thread is long and this will probably get buried, but I'll leave it here anyway. I'm really excited about this kind of thing and have sometimes thought of writing one myself, primarily as a means for me to hammer out all the theoretical areas that are still foggy for me as an autodidact. If this can make it easy to pass impractical textbook-style interview questions and give a good, reliable foundation of CS knowledge that won't go away ten seconds after closing the Wikipedia page, I'd love to buy it (and I still may write my own some day just for good measure :P). I think autodidact programmers is a rapidly-growing and under-served market (though, unfortunately, I don't think it'll be allowed to go on much longer; I expect professional licensing organizations similar to the ABA to show up on the horizon soon).
