Is Clewlow and Strickland the book that shows algorithms in more detail (pseudo-code), or there is some new book out there in a similar style ?

Yep, that's the one. Personally, I don't know others which go over things in the same style. I'd be glad to hear of others that do. Haug goes over lots of code too, so that may be a good bet too.

Yes, Haug is also very well documented. Is this then a style in which no other writer is interested ?

I'm in favour of code in books and certainly Clewlow and Strickland had some unique material when it was written - the only trouble with pseudo-code is that it's easier for mistakes to creep into the pseudo-code since readers can't just test the published codeThe virtue of Haug's book is that readers can easily check that the VBA functions work just by calling them from Excel
