Useful book, but i doubt it is in print anymore; One would have to
check alibris for a copy. My favorite on this topic is


Patrice Boizumault
The Implementation of Prolog
Princeton Series in Computer Science
Princeton University Press, 1993


which still shows at amazon as available, but at an outrageous price
for a new copy [it mentions used copies as well] Also note that Grune
et al "Modern Compiler Design" has a nice section on logic programming
which gives you some important chunks of a prolog implementation.
