I thought this was "the Dragon Book" Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools

by Aho, Lam, and Sethi

https://www.amazon.com/Compilers-Principles-Techniques-Tools...

I prefer the first edition by Aho, Sethi and Ullman, which I own twice (single volume hardcover and two-volume softcover German translation).

The "modernized" version leaves out some fundamental parsing material.

Same with Ezra Kline's "Abundance" vs. John Green's "An Abundance of Katherines." But I kinda like swapping in John Green—"Everything is Tuberculosis" was a good read for me this year.
