The Huffman coding example page shown for "Algorithms Notes for Professionals" is paraphrased from the classic textbook "Introduction to Algorithms", or CLR as it is often called. The tree diagrams on p. 54 of "Algorithms Notes for Professionals" are pirated directly from CLR -- p. 339 of my 2000 printing, but it may differ in later editions -- and the text is similar (CLR p. 338: "This method requires 300,000 bits to code the entire file. Can we do better?" Notes for Professionals p. 54: "This method requires 300,000 bits to code the entire file. Now the question is, can we do better?". I suppose they hired people in low cost-of-living countries to find the relevant reference materials and paraphrase them.
