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?

Pearson has it in hardcover for $165.32: https://www.pearson.com/en-us/subject-catalog/p/compilers-pr...

Amazon has it in paperback for $86.00 and hardcover for $165.32: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1292024348/

Used copies are cheaper.

Try bookfinder.com; they seem to show a few used copies available here and there for semi-reasonable (< $100) prices. Ex
