They're the authors; the bible is titled "Compilers: principles, techniques,
and tools", Addison-Wesley. Make sure you grab the 2nd edition.

IMHO, the APUE equivalent in compiler design is "Compiler Design in C", by
Allen Holub, Prentice Hall pub. Extremely well organised and loaded with great
examples.

Both the books are a must read anyway.
Good Luck!
