Reviews ...
a very thorough and great book....
But as the other reviewer stated, this is most definitely not a book for the beginning assembly language programmer.
But for one who has been programming for many years, this book carefully and comprehensively covers the guts of the computer.
For one who has only a few years of computer work experience, you could still get through the first few chapters and write beginner-level assembly language programs.
When choosing this book, think carefully about what kind of assembler you wish to use. You can go and search on the web for "Assembler simulator" and you will see there are many variations on assembler languages as well as processors. You should pick one that fits your needs.
For the college instructor, this book comes with wonderful questions and answers. There is also a nice instructor manual. I enjoyed working through the examples, and found this book quite challenging.

most definately not a book for the beginning assembly language programmer. that said, this is one of the most detailed and informative books on the subject i have every had the pleasure of finding, purchasing, and reading.
the book travels deep into the electronic architecture of the humble pc and teaches you how to do things you never even knew could be done. it covers parallel port and serial port interfacing, memory architecture, graphics programming, and just about every other facet of the pc that there is in a very comprehensive and satisfying manner.
i have purchased 9 books so far published by prentice hall, and all were superb. i whole heartedly recommend to EVERYONE that if you ever need to know about something and want a book, see what prentice hall has on the subject FIRST. the quality and quantity of information and the layout and design in their publications are second to none.
if assembly language programming were a religion then this is my bible, and the authors and are my gods.
