I use (and enjoy):

  o The New Peter Norton Programmer's Guide to The IBM PC & PS/2
    by Peter Norton and Richard Wilton
    ISBN 1-55615-131-4

  o IBM Microcomputers, a Programmer's Handbook
    by Julia Sanchez and Maria Canton
    ISBN 0-07-054594-4

Norton's book describes DOS & BIOS calls, and Sanchez's book describes things
from a more hardware level.
