I have this book. I'm not sure I'd recommend it to an absolute beginner, but it does take you through assembler code in a way that attempts to explain to a beginner what is going on and the niceties of writing programs. Having said that, I wouldn't discount buying the book, even if you were to find it a little advanced, the ideas would set you thinking, and the book would then suddenly come in to view so to speak.
