I ask simply if is there an equivalent to the Princeton Companion to Mathematics for Computer Science, both as aim and quality. I see similar questions about book suggestions on the site, but no so specific.

Princeton Companion to Mathematics by Tim Gowers! :-) – Pratik Deoghare Oct 20 '12 at 1:37

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, see the FAQ for guidance.

I'd recommend Brookshear any day, but am not sure about the resemblance to Gowers.

Foundations of Computer Science by Al Aho and Jeff Ullman

Why do you think that this particular book is the best fit? Just giving one item as an answer is not very helpful and a reason why questions as this one (then correctly called list questions) are not considered as good questions for the SE format. – A.Schulz Dec 12 '12 at 7:43
