If you are interested in surveys of paradigms and older languages (1998), there is the 4 volume "Handbook of Programming Languages" edited by Peter Salus - they are cheap used from Amazon.

Volume One Object-Oriented Programming Languages : Smalltalk, C++, Eiffel, Ada 95, Modula-3, Java

Volume Two Imperative Programming Languages : Fortran, C, Pascal, Icon

Volume Three Little Tools and Languages : EQN, Domain Specific Languages, awk, sed, SQL, Tcl and Tk, Perl, Python, Music languages

Volume Four Functional and Logic Programming Languages : Lisp, Scheme, Guile, Prolog

There's also CTM (_Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming_, http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.html) by Van Roy and Haridi. It focuses on programming paradigms rather than languages, but covers several along the way.
