The “Dragon Book.” I studied the 1977 edition as part of my BSCS in 1980, which influenced my senior project (a Pascal compiler) and a job working on compilers – standards compliance and code generation QA, then code generator enhancements, porting the compiler to run on different systems, etc. Good times.
