For CART the definitive book is Leo Breiman et al., Classification and
Regression Trees (CART), Wadsworth & Brooks, 1984.
For C4.5 see J. Ross Quinlan, C4.5: Programs for Machine Learning, Morgan
Kaufmann, 1993.
I'm unsure about pruning in CHAID - there's a brief description of the
algorithm on the SPSS Web site

Summaries for at least some algorithms can be found in D. Michie, D.J.
Spiegelhalter and C.C. Taylor (eds.), Machine Learning, Neural and
Statistical Classification Ellis Horwood, 1994.  Another good overview book
is D. J. Hand, Construction and Assessment of Classification Rules, Wiley,
1997
