The Dragon Book is supposed to be read by people taking a CS course on compilers, to fill in the gaps. I too don't believe it's a standalone work.

I found Appel's _Modern Compiler Implementation in ML_ to be better-suited to self study, and more modern. I've used OCaml but not SML, and didn't have any problem following it.
