@thelastpsion I bought it when I thought I was going to get into compiler writing. I got as far as doing an interpreter and transpiler for Tiny BASIC before I moved on to other things.

@thelastpsion Look, here it is, on my shelf of books I bought a long time ago. This one says "Second printing, March 1978."
