For JVM, try the Java Virtual Machine specification at


      http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/


There may be a bit of an advertising campaign for Java on nearby web
pages, but the book itself is a quite precise specification of the
Java Virtual Machine and nothing else. Probably easier to read if you
understand Java, because the first Java language versions translate
very nicely into JVM code.
