Since several people have asked already...

There are two I've been using. I think they're on the book list, but in 
case they're not:

Advanced Compiler Design & Implementation
Steven S. Muchnick
Morgan Kaufmann
ISBN 1-55860-320-4

Building an Optimizing Compiler
Robert Morgan
Digital Press
ISBN 1-55558-179-X

I like the first better--it's a more comfortable read. (If you can consider 
any of this stuff comfortable... :)

It probably wouldn't hurt to drag out a book on Linear Algebra while you're 
at it, but I don't have a reference to one of those handy.
