I have just started reading the bible of algorithms: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/... Not a quick win but a comprehensive, in-depth algorithm book :-)
If you have time, get Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ( http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pearls-2nd-Jon-Bentley/dp/... )
If you're aiming for smaller companies or startups, they actually have harder technical questions.
Also, don't skimp on the preparation for the non-technical part of the interview. Prepare to answer soft questions (e.g. your previous team work experience, etc), practice talking about your past project experiences, practice making eye contacts and sounding confident, etc.
This course is CS 161 at Stanford: Intro to Algorithms. It's got a lot of short videos, so you can pick which ones you wanna watch. Also, I took the class, the prof is really good.

(I've given ~2 "big tech" interviews a week pretty solid for the past 6 years)
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/pearls/ They have a book too.
Also, there is careercup.com. Fantastic site if you want to get a feel of what sort of questions are asked in different companies.
I like Cracking the Coding Interview: http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Fourth-Progr... And The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena: http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Fourth-Progr...
