Try "Assembly Language Primer for the IBM PC & XT".  by: Robert Lafore.
pub: The Waite Group, 1984.  $24.95 list (I paid 22.99 at 'Egghead
Software', if you happen to have one nearby).  I started with this book when
I began 8088 assembly language, having 6502 experience, a few years back.
I recommend it, but only with another reference, such as:
"Programming the 8086/8088". by: James W. Coffron. pub: Sybex Books, 1983.
$16.95 list.  This book (and many others) give full descriptions of such
things as the instruction set which the primer doesn't cover in the same way.
Also, It's a good idea to have a Programmer's Reference Manual for looking
up BIOS calls and the like.

Good luck!
