Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This text is aimed at 2nd and 3rd year undergraduates who are taking compiling courses, and have an understanding of Modula-2 and Data Structures. It provides a first introduction to recursive descent compiling, assembling, linking and loading. Assuming no previous knowledge of these topics, or of their theoretical background, it deliberately introduces only minimal mathematical theory. Written in an accommodating style, it is a step-by-step guide to the intricate mechanism of recursive descent compiling. Concrete and specific, the book teaches mainly by example.

Bibliography: (pages 417-419) and index.
