I wrote some time back a tutorial on this: http://lisperator.net/pltut/ — but the implementation language is JS, and the language we implement is quite trivial (no objects, inheritance etc.; but does have lexical scope, first-class functions and continuations).

I think Java is ugly, but putting this knowledge in an accessible book is great. Typography is also very nice.

I learned a ton doing this! Thanks for making it! I also really enjoyed "A Little Javascript Problem"
I used your tutorial for learning to make my first interpreter and learnt a lot from it. Thank you for sharing!
I really enjoyed that tutorial!
