   Most introductory compiler books probably have at least a section on   
   parsing. The book that my university used for the course that dealt   
   with parsing was Compiler Construction: Principles and Practice by   
   Kenneth Louden; chapters 4 and 5 made a rather approachable   
   introduction to parsing, to me at least. That said, I have too few   
   data points to adequately assess its relative quality.
