With no reservations I recommend "Virtual Machine Design and
Implementation in C/C++" by Bill Blunden (ISBN 1556229038). So good,
it's probably my favorite technical book of all time. It covers all of
the ground elements, dealing with memory, how CPUs work, and builds
step by step to building a complete virtual machine, a debugger, and
relevant APIs.


Away from that, you might like to check out Parrot, at
http://www.parrotcode.org/ . Parrot is a new(ish) virtual machine which is
being designed as the base on which Perl 6 will operate, although other
languages like Ruby and PHP are also looking at targeting it. It's open
source, and you can even dive in and help where you like. Download it, read
all their docs, hack about, and you'll know a lot more than before you
started :-)
