        I'd like to add "Assembly Language for the IBM-PC" by Kip Irvine
(Macmillan).
        I still have the first edition, but just got the latest one
(third edition, i think).
        And it still comes with the MS assembler (or at least the local
college bookstore
        version did, which is where i buy most books, since waldenbooks
just doesn't
        cut it for technical books, and i can't browse through a book at
amazon.com)

        I got the first edition as a textbook, back in 1990 before the
Pentiums were out.
        The new version does address Pentiums, but i haven't read all of
it yet, so i do
        not know how it addresses the differences in the instruction
sets between
        the older Intel processors and the new ones.

        If you want to learn PC-assembly, it's a good text that goes
from intro level
        to somewhat advanced (enough to keep you busy for a while, at
any rate).
