I cherish this book, its fantastic. I love all of the tidbits about PL history in the margins, and its a great guide through the world of language design.
If you're looking for a follow up, I might have a recommendation. I recently got Essentials Of Compilation by Jeremy G. Siek, and I'm very excited to find some time to read it. There is a version implemented in python and racket (two separate books), so you can pick what you're more comfortable with. (I chose python). Its very elegantly written and after each chapter you end up with a working compiler.
