This book is very thorough and easy to read and understand. Extremely well organized. If you are familiar with an other architecture or a high level language this book will teach you Intel assembly.

I have learned 68000 family assembly and hardware and now i am entering the Intel family. I didn't know that studying this book can make things so easy! The authors really make things simple and clear, and yet all the important points are there! And the examples are simple and straightforward, and they do serve their purpose in explaining concepts! I fully recommend for beginners in assembly and microprocessors.

I really dig this book, and don't regret spend an enormous amount of money purchasing it. It's suprisingly clear and terse for a manual as complete as it is. There's only reason I can't give it five stars; there's no discussion of BIOS-level disk I/O. That's important stuff; some of us have operating systems to write!

This book jumps around to much. The information should be brought together in a smoother flow on how to program.
