I think the "Compilers - Principles, Techniques, and Tools" (The Dragon
Book) is used by many schools. We use it at UC Davis and I found that it is
indeed a good book. However, it lacks discussions on newer topics like
treatment for objected-oriented languages.


The "Modern Compiler Implementation in (C | Java | ML)" (The Tiger Book) is
pretty concise. It has topics on OO and functional language translations and
even garbage collection.
