Best books to learn Compilers and interpreters, in order

Compilers reward order because each phase feeds the next: you can't reason about code generation until lexing, parsing, and the abstract syntax tree are second nature. A strong path builds a small working interpreter first for the whole pipeline end to end, then returns for the theory of grammars, type checking, and optimization once you have something running to anchor it.
