Summary: Good, but I wish it covered more language theory
Comment: This book was good for my undergrad programming-languages class, but it didn't help us in our study of attribute grammers, nor was the explanation and examples of BNF and EBNF as extensive as they could have been. Also I was dissapointed the examples as they were all very simple (see Chapter 3's section on Denotational Semantics).
It is true that it says some silly stuff about Java - but that seems to be pretty typical of most text books these days.

Summary: One of the best books of Programming Languages
Comment: This is one of best books of Programming Languages I know. I use it as basic bibliography to teach Programming Languages in a College in Brazil. This book must be compared with the books of Terrence Pratt, Guezzi and Watt among others. This book do not intend to be a book to teach any language like C or Java. This books is a book to explain issues about the design of languages. (Sorry for my english mistakes)

Summary: Fire the editor!
Comment: I agree with most of the other reviews (good and bad), but I think it really needs to be mentioned that this book is just *full* of typos and bugs. I've never read a computer book or a so-called textbook with so many mistakes. I would recommend against using this book for teaching until they come out with a new edition that is proofread a little better.
