Amazon Summary
This anthology of essays from Donald Knuth, "the father of computer science," and the inventor of literate programming includes early essays on related topics such as structured programming, as well as The Computer Journal article that launched literate programming itself. Many examples are given, including excerpts from the programs for TeX and METAFONT. The final essay is an example of CWEB, a system for literate programming in C and related languages. This volume is first in a series of Knuth's collected works.

Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.
There's Knuth's TeX Book and METAFONT Book, and his Stanford GraphBase book. There's also his collection of papers, Literate Programming (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0937073806/ref=dbs_a_def_r...).

Knuth has an LP web page (https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/lp.html), but it looks like the examples are out of date.

Probably more useful is http://www.literateprogramming.com/; the CWEB Tool page has some examples and the PDF Articles page has ... articles.

Here's an intro from Knuth: http://www.literateprogramming.com/knuthweb.pdf

And then there's Physically Based Rendering at http://www.pbr-book.org/.
