Hi,   
      
   my favorites list:   
      
   Best read, easy to understand and follow:   
   Compiler Construction - N. Wirth [PDF (597 KB)]   
   http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/CBEAll.pdf   
      
      
   somwhat old, but good to read: Gries "Compiler Construction for   
   digital computers"   
      
   And probably the most refreshing one:  the Lisp 1.5 manual , it has is   
   an interpreter and compiler in the appendix. (   
   http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%201.   
   %20Programmers%20Manual.pdf/view   
   ).   
      
   [Appendix B of the Lisp 1.5 manual (which I happen to have in   
   convenient 1969 paper form) does have a pseudocode interpreter, but   
   Appendix D about the compiler just describes how to use it, no   
   listings.  And he wouldn't like the Lisp compiler anyway, since then   
   he'd have to learn LAP. Gries is a good thought, quite concrete and the   
   target machine is a thinly disguised S/360. -John]
