I've never run across a book dedicated to this particular topic. If
you want to read up on it, I suggest you read the CWEB version of
Donald Knuth's `dvitype' program, which converts files in TeX's `dvi'
format to human readable form. Other possibilities might be GNU
Common LISP's and/or GNU Emacs LISP's routines for byte compilation.
`dvitype' can be found on the CTAN archive at http://www.tug.org
http://www.dante.de and elsewhere. The GNU packages are available
from http://www.gnu.org
