My old favorite, and probably still favorite, compiler book is:
"Retargetable C Compiler, A: Design and Implementation"
(It is more likely to be your favorite if you are interested in a C compiler.)
LCC uses, more or less, a code generator generator. You supply the
instruction combinations to do operations that are needed, and it
uses dynamic programming to select the optimal code.
It is usual to generate assembly code for an assembler.
Mostly that leaves the middle end, especially for optimization,
that doesn't have its own generator.
