Prentice-Hall sent me a new book to preview last semester, and our department
liked it so much, we changed our order at the last minute to get this book
for our introductory assembler course.

The book is "IBM PC ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE AND PROGRAMMING," 2d edition, by Peter
Abel, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.  Combine this book with
the PC Sourcebook from Microsoft Press, and you've got everything you need
to write just about anything.

Prentice-Hall also has a book on advance PC assembler programming, called
"ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR THE IBM MICROCOMPUTERS," by
Julio Sanchez.  Also quite a good book, with a pretty good section on
graphics.

I have no relationship with either of these authors or Prentice-Hall, besides
the fact that P-H occasionally sends me books to preview, for which I am
grateful.
