Ah, a wonderful book. Aho, Sethi and Ullman. I have it on a shelf at home somewhere.
As featured in Hackers, a very amusing moment.

The Dragon Book is the Standard.
I anti-recommend a much smaller book by Louden(Compiler construction, principles and practice).

You 'anti-recommend'. Are you explicitly mentioning another book that is NOT good? Or have I misunderstood?
