The Unix programmer docs are one good place to look for how
to get the most out of lex and yacc, or their clones.  However, it
helps a lot if you already know a lot about writing compilers, so
you might also take a careful look at the textbooks used in undergrad
compiler writing courses.

I *believe* that the compiler book by Aho and Ullman uses lex and yacc
for its examples, but that is from far distant memory.

Your last bet might be to find one of the bookstores that specializes
in Unix books, and call them for a lex/yacc book.  See Unix Review
ads for phone numbers.
