I wish there was a whole book like this. :-)

Not a whole book, but at least a good nice chapter devoted to it:
Robert Sedgewick, Algorithms.
Don't know if the newer editions are as good as the original though, or whether
they cover the same topics for that matter.

I hadn't remembered geometry being in there. I'll have to dig it down and check.

I believe the standard CLRS Introduction to Algorithms book also
includes a nice chapter on computational geometry.
Honestly, there's enough useful stuff in that book that I think every
programmer who aspires to have good general problem-solving skills could
benefit well from it or some other equivalent book (as it appears you
indeed own).
In this case there are of course other books entirely devoted to
computational geometry, but I've never read any of them so I can't
comment on their quality.

Haven't read it for years, but yes, convex hull and nearest point stuff was in
there for sure. And I recall something about Voroni diagrams.
Then of course graphs, which can be helpful with some types of geometrical
problems.
Though I must confess that I may not have 1st edition after all, but 2nd edition
or something like that.

Yup.
"Design Patterns" (Erich Gramma et al.) is another similarly valuable book,
though of course with a significantly different focus (and not particularly
related to geometry :)).

I dunno. That book never really seemed particularly valuable to me. I think
it's probably more valuable to people who started out with one language and
stuck with it a while before learning others. I learned 3 or 4 programming
languages in the first six months of programming, so the idea of a "factory"
method or a "singleton" or something like that is kind of silly.
