Compiler Design in C is a good book. I highly recommend it. The dragon 
books is awesome =], if you can understand it... . Best find the books 
on amazon or your local computer nerd. There are plenty of compiler 
design books out there, just try to stay away from the ones that try 
using anything but C. Theres some horrible compiler design via Java 
books that need to die.
