Love all those books. Hadn't heard of the last one though. Looks like it's available online [1]. And actually, it has a few cool links on its homepage to similar books. In particular, there is a link to this gem [2], which, for example, has a chapter [3] on what appears to be a very interesting generalization [4] of the "master theorem" of CLRS. Another good resource that pages links to seems to be [5], which was recently mentioned on HN. Of course, for an even deeper treatment of asymptotic analysis check out Flajolet and Sedgewick [6]!
