This discussion of programming language design brings to mind an
excellent book I came across in the library, entitled "Programming
Languages: A Grand Tour".  It was published, I believe, by the ACM,
but I do not have any other publication information.

This book gathers together many historically important papers on
programming language design and on the programming languages
themselves.  To some extent, it serves as an introduction to the
philosophic issues that dictate the design of a particular
programming language.

Herman Rubin may find this book to be quite eye-opening, as I did.
(It also put me on an Algol-60 kick that I haven't yet managed to
overcome...)
