Re:The “dragon book” turned 36 this year by greenyoda on Saturday February 26, 2022 @10:29PM (#30485114)
As someone pointed out in that thread, the original version of the "Dragon Book" was out in 1977, making it 45 years old:

I used it in a compiler class in college in 1980, and it was already known as the "Dragon Book" back then.

You can still buy a used copy on Amazon:
