[CMU] Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation, by
John Hopcroft and Jeffrey Ullman, (Addison-Wesley, 1979). So called
because the cover depicts a girl (putatively Cinderella) sitting in
front of a Rube Goldberg device and holding a rope coming out of it.
On the back cover, the device is in shambles after she has
(inevitably) pulled on the rope. See also {book titles}.
