I highly recommend the book "Text Compression" by Bell, Cleary, and Witten. It details a number of text compression algorithms and provides theoretical proofs on compression efficiency. An excellent book for understanding how text compression works and the limits of compression. After reading it you should have little difficulty coding the algorithms in MATLAB.
