I presume that "The Definitive ANTLR Reference: Building Domain-
Specific Languages" by Terence Parr (published by Pragmatic
Programmers) is still in print since Amazon.com has it in stock.

Also, our book "Generating Software from Specifications" (Kastens,
Sloane, Waite - Jones and Bartlett, 2007, http://www.jbpub.com/catalog/9780763741242/)
, while not specifically about building compilers, illustrates
software generation using our Eli system with examples from the
language processing area many of which are relevant for compiler
generation.
