"Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, andComputation", by John Hopcroft and Jeffrey Ullman, (Addison-Wesley, 1979). So called because the cover depicts agirl (putatively Cinderella) sitting in front of a RubeGoldberg device and holding a rope coming out of it. On theback cover, the device is in shambles after she has(inevitably) pulled on the rope.See also book titles.
