Although it is older than a fair number of HN readers, a great book from 1990 on compilers is Allen Holub's "Compiler Design in C". It's long out of print but there is a free PDF on Holub's website [1].

The book covers the usual theory and then puts it to use to develop tools for writing compilers (e.g., lexical analyzer generators similar to lex and parser generators similar to yacc) and then with those tools develops a C compiler.
