Brings me back to my college years. The book was delivered quickly and in great shape.

I thought I would never see this book again! Thank you

Classic book on compilers. It's dated, but has all the fundamentals. As a side note, I've noticed this very book on the bookshelves of just about every computer scientist I've ever talked to (in their office).

I must confess I have not ready the book, but rather bought it as a "hacker trophy" of sorts, due to its presence in the film "Hackers." A silly reason to purchase it? Perhaps. But hey, check out the dragon art! Dragons + Computer = Nerd Win.

This is *the* text for complier design in the computer industry. Referred to in popular media as the dragon book it has an almost religous following by the great programmers in the industry. This exhaustive text will introduce advance topics to the intermediate programmer and to the experienced alike. Although not an introductory work by any stretch of the imagination it will allow for the intermediate programmer to get a rudimentary grasp of the subject. A great example of the best writing that can be done by some of the great minds of our field.

For the price, the book was in excellent condition(I bought a used copy, so the experience might vary). Also the contents of the book were enlightening with detailed descriptions on each topic. Definitely a good buy for anyone looking to read about compilers!

Entails all the important topics of compiler design and starts off with a creating a compiler for small program to demonstrate all the phases of compiling a program.. Not to mention lots of example and, projects and exercises

5.0 out of 5 stars an oldie but goodie
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2013
This is the standard text book for designing a compiler, much cheaper than the newer edition and just as useful for the fundamental principles. I find having a hardback version makes both the reading and referring back a more pleasant experience than cheaper paperbacks or (shudder) online/ebook versions.
