Textbook
Michael Sipser,
Introduction to the Theory of Computation.
Any of the first, international, second or third editions will work.
Earlier editions are less than half the cost of the third edition online.
Although the numbering of almost everything in the first and
international editions are
different from the others, the content is mostly unchanged except for
some corrections and new and solved problems in each subsequent edition.
The third edition has an extra section 2.4 on deterministic context-free languages that we won't cover anyway.
See errata links on book page for lists of errors
and corrections.
