I'm looking for books / articles / papers on Javascript engine internals along the lines of the many reference works about the JVM internals, CLR internals, etc. I could (and likely will) look at the source code for JavaScriptCore and V8/Chromium, but if there's a book out there or some other "guided tour" documentation, I'd prefer to read them first. Thanks.

V8 is a free and open-source JavaScript engine developed by the Chromium Project for Google Chrome and Chromium web browsers. The project's creator is Lars Bak.
Chrome V8 is a JavaScript engine, which means that it executes JavaScript code. Originally, JavaScript was written to be executed by web browsers. Chrome V8, or just V8, can execute JavaScript code either within or outside of a browser, which makes server-side scripting possible.
JavaScript is a multi-paradigm prototype-based language, which uses JavaScript Engine such as Chrome's V8 engine Firefox SpiderMonkey engine and etc. They convert the high level code into machine-readable code which lets computer to perform some specific tasks.
I was curious about this too, and here's what I found:
About Chrome's Javascript engine (v8):
About Firefox Javascript Engine (Spidermonkey):
About IE 9+ Javascript Engine (Chakra):
About Safari Javascript engine (SquirrelFish):
