I'd recommend _Essentials of Programming Languages_ by Friedman, Wand,
and Haynes. I took a PL course from Friedman, and we (obviously) used
this book. In my mind, it's a clear winner for implementing an
interpreter and learning about the options you have when implementing it.
It was definitely the motivating basis for my own interpreter No Latte
(http://nolatte.sf.net).
