For each of his major languages (Pascal, Modula, Oberon), Wirth wrote a new edition of his Compiler Construction book. In this book, he introduces to Compiler Construction in general and explains a particular implementation of a compiler for a small language (Oberon0).

The current edition has been extended in some ways (the target RISC architecture is explained much better now). I have read all three books on Compiler Construction by Wirth (even typed in the source of the first book on PL0) and many others by him. I still like his books although his style is a bit formal. Fortunately, the implementation issues keep him down to earth. This book is still the most demanding he wrote. Except for computer science students, which may be happy to get a worked out example in less than 200 pages.
