4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but not worth the current prices, April 12, 2003

After waiting patiently for a seller who was going to sell this book for a reasonable price, I got one for about twenty dollars. While this book has a lot of good information, a lot of it is obsolete and you'll really have a hard time justifying spending the kind of money people are asking for it.

I have a lot of assembly books and I will rate this one as an advanced book but you can still get a good education from it if you know the basics of assembly language. In my opinion, the difficulty of the language is over rated. A great book to learn the language is : "Assembly Language for Intel Based Processors (4th Edition)" by Irvine. (emphasis on 4th edition cos it covers 32 bit coding)

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for those with experiance with x86 assembly, October 7, 1997

This book does not serve as a tutorial to learn assembly; rather it goes into many uses of assembly, such as reverse engineering, and protection from a virus. If you know assembly already, and want to use it more effectively, this would be a good book

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced, know your assembler before treading here!, March 23, 2002

Don't get me wrong this book is awesome. Just know a fair amount of assembler before coming to this book. Goes into great detail on difficult subjects or subjects rarely covered in other books. Proteteced mode, advanced video, data compression, pentium, advanced sound, viruses, advanced low-level disk access and DMA are all covered. My only beef is no PCI coverage, it only seems natural that an advanced book cover this along with the advanced ISA. Oh well 5 stars anyway for all the excellent coverage elsewhere. Although approaching the *outdated material* realm it does go to profound lengths to enable you to write real world assembler for todays still active processors.
