   The more complete available review of parsing I know of is Parsing   
   Techniques - A Practical Guide of Grune and Jacobs can perhaps help   
   you.  The first edition is out of print but available here in PDF:   
      
   http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dick/PTAPG.html   
      
   There is a second edition in preparation but AFAIK it is not available yet.
