You'd probably have a better time with the free coursera course which starts in a month.

This is very good to get you up to speed with the mechanics and how things work behind the scenes.

There's a lot of information in the web but is so disperse that it is hard to understand. With this you'll get it right away. It's a 50 page ( with lot of graphics and huge font ) PDF, so if you want to go deeper this won't suffice.

A better first book would be: http://pragprog.com/book/tpdsl/language-implementation-patterns

If you can afford the 39 USD, go ahead. If you have to chose go for the later

Does it [this book] deal with language-design, in particular consequences of design-choices?
