I have bought "Virtual Machine Design and Implementation in C++" by Bill Blunden. This book has very positive reviews (see slashdot or amazon.com). It seems to impress people by the apparent width of covered topics. Most of it is off topic. The book gives to the moderately knowledgeable reader no insight about virtual machines or even about language compilation.
Stef,
Thanks for the review. Yours is the 2nd review I've read about this book. I was about to buy it but after the 1st review I changed my mind as it echoed your review in almost every sense.
I did browse it at the bookstore and it seemed that the book tackled no real topics/problems associated with modern VM design. Disappointing.
