There are several dragon books. The original is the Green Dragon Book - Principles of Compiler Design from 1977. That was my textbook in 79. Wouldn't wish it on anyone, although perhaps because we were using a FORTRAN II compiler on an 1130 to do the coursework.
It's a reskinned second edition: www.amazon.com/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-International-Economy/dp/9332518661
And there's even a GREEN dragon book from 1977: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201000229

What are your thoughts on the good book?
I am very disappointed that no one has as yet recommended the following book: Principles of Compiler Design
And you guys call yourselves programmers....
One of my courses in university was to do just what you've described: write my own language. Writing a language requires far more analysis and design time than it does technical implementation. The above book describes it all (although as I recall focuses more on precedural languages).
