the book "Rounding errors in algebraic processes" by Wilkinson is a good read but it's way out of date.
IEEE-754 is now the thing for both radix 2 and 10. Also there certainly are proceedings on this topic in 50 years.
Can anyone suggest up-to-date/more modern books which are easy to read?
"Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms" by Higham seems to go this way but might be too in-depth.

Have you seen the Wikipedia entry? If not, go here:
