This book was very well written. I liked the authors writing style. This book is very effective in starting the reader from the beginning and taking them through writing assembly apps. It has great examples throughout each chapter to help put together the content. Overall it is a great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars book lacks details
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 1998
The books covers standard 80x86 assembler programming, but don't expect anything in detail. Has section on language mixing, and instruction reference. Only beginner should consider this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for the beginning assembly language programmer
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2009
Tom Swan does an excellent job at introducing Turbo Assembler usage and sytax commands as well as the
instruction set that is listed in the back of the book. Book makes great reference, with plenty of exercises ad examples to try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book !
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2000
"Mastering Turbo Assembler" is a great book! It teaches you to write stand-alone assembly programs in DOS AND Windows. The book is full of examples which are explained in detail. All the code is written in TASM's IDEAL mode, which is better than MASM mode. Tom Swan really stimulates you to write your own programs and that is the key to become a good programmer. So read the book and with the information it profides you must try to make your own programs in order to check if you really understand it.
But I must make clear that this book ONLY teaches you to WRITE programs in assembly. If you need basic information about the architecture of the 8086/8088 family (how memory and processor works etc.) this is not a good book to begin with. If you want to learn assembly from scratch (as I did) I recommend the book Jeff Duntemann wrote; "Assembly Language: Step by step". With this book and "Mastering Turbo Assembler" you have all the information you need to start programming in assembly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best assembler book ever
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2002
I have programmed professionally in assembly language for 15 years. I'm also a collector of good books. This book is a great book, having all information of Turbo Assembler, instructions and assembly language programming in one book. It also tech you to use Turbo Assembler IDEAL mode. Turbo Assembler in IDEAL mode is the greatest x86 assembler in the world. This is the only book I have found learning you using Turbo Assembler IDEAL mode syntax. In IDEAL mode you can handle structures and unions as you do in C, easy interface to high level languages etc. This book will learn you how to use Turbo Assembler strengths and you will learn a more productive way of programming in assembly language. Regardless wether you are a beginner, intermediate or professional I highly recommend this book. If you refer to your self a professional of x86 assembly language programming and do not program using Turbo Assembler IDEAL mode, buy this book and learn IDEAL mode syntax, to become even more skilled as a professional.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wordy, horid as a reference
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 1999
I had to use this book in a class that i was in, and i did not find this book useful at all. The book is so verbose it is hard to read and understand, with the index it is impossible to find topics, and coverage of topics are spoty so it is not a good reference book. It is very specific to the architecture, and uses IDEAL mode exclusively, which is cumbersome when MASM is also a desired mode to learn.

this isn’t a novel, I just started, will take me months to go through the whole thing. If we are reviewing seller than there isn’t anything to complain, book was packaged with care and shipped promptly. This is 700 pages paperback book, I didn’t expect it to be in such beautiful condition.

Probably the best book ever for introduction to assembly language. If you're going to poo-poo it because it's so old - you might be surprised to see how little assembly has changed in the intervening years.
