The book that you are refering to is "Introduction to Compiler Construction 
with Unix" by Axel T. Schreiner and H. George Friedman, Jr., Prentice-Hall Inc.
1985.  ISBN 0-13-474396-2.  The book has a lot of code, and not too much 
theory, and tells more about Lex and Yacc than compilers, but it is a good
addition to the library.

I recommend reading Chapter 8 of Kernighan & Pike's
{\it The UNIX Programming Environment} before tackling
Schreiner & Friedman.
