highly, highly recommend this book when i was given a compilers class to teach i wanted to teach hand-written recursive descent because it is simple, elegant and makes the recursive nature of grammars so readily apparent without hiding concepts behind obscure tools i was despairing that there were no good books around on recursive descent, but stumbled on crafting interpreters before it was even released as a book and immediately structured my class around it absolute life saver and my students all love it cannot say enough good things about it!
