In my copy of volume 3 of TAOCP, the chapter on sorting takes up
388 pages.  On the other hand, only 108 pages of that deals with
what we normally think of as sorting algorithms today, and even
that part is longer than it needs to be because of Knuth's
exhaustive (and exhausting) writing style.  Don Knuth would
never write a book in the style of The C Programming Language.
