Ask HN: Where’s a good place to buy The Dragon Compiler Book?
Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools 2nd edition to be exact.
It doesn’t appear to be cheap, and wherever it is cheap it’s some alternate edition missing chapters, or is a stack of pages requiring a binder.
Do I really have to pay like $200 or look at a pdf on my laptop?
