Too easy! See "CLRS". It's in its third edition as of 2009. It's a
huge book, usually about 5cm thick.

See the textbook here:
http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs341/
and perhaps more importantly here:
http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs466/

It's used mostly as a reference, rather than a cover-to-cover
kind of book. And it probably not very heavy on
data structures -- but I haven't taken these courses yet so
I can't say for sure.

For references too slightly more data-structureish books
(but less advanced) see:
http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs240/w10/resources.phtml

Hope that helps!
