I found "Programming Languages An Interpreter-Based Approach" by
Samuel N. Kamin, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-06824-9 very interesting
on this topic since it covers, imperative, functional, object and
logic interpreters by "patching" a basic interpreter. Unfortunately it
looks like it is out of print (I got mine from a used book sale).
