You might have already looked at the bison manual. If yes, you can
as well ignore my answer.

I implemented a small interpreted language without prior yacc/bison 
knowledge. I found the tutorial sections of the bison manual extremely 
helpful. The examples are IHMO very well explained (or were at least some 
versions ago). I think the bison manual is one of the nicest pieces of 
documentation I have seen of all GNU tools. You might want to print
it out, or look at it with "info bison".
