If you need to learn the internals of compilers and the available tools and techniques for writing new programming languages, this book is for you. It is a bit dated, but still covers all necessary foundations to understand the inner magic of lexical analysis, grammars, parsing, intermediate representations and so on. Much recommended!

The dragon book is a classic text on the design and implementation of compilers. Use for many years as a university text book. It is a straight forward explanation of compiler requirements and the techniques used in constucting a compace, fast compiler. I recommend it.
This book was requested by my son's professor for his current compilers class at college. I had purchased the more recent edition of this book but the professor requested this edition, stating that it is better than the newer edition.
