Richard,

I learned a lot from Randall Hyde's book:

Write Great Code: Volume 1: Understanding the Machine

Also, take a look at his website:

http://homepage.mac.com/randyhyde/webster.cs.ucr.edu/

There is a lot of information from "Understanding the Machine" in
"The Art of Assembly"

The online version is not the final, published version, he notes that
the hardcopy has been through the proofing process.

Either or both books would give you a lot of information, I'd make the
choice based on your interest in assembly.

Hope this helps,
Gil
