This book is probably the most useful 'instruction set list' book that I
have ever seen.  The inclusion of non-trivial examples (how about the
base for a 386 OS?), the level of information is excellent particularly
the description of tasks and OS level software considerations.
 
As a kicker, let me quote the authors from the introduction -
"Having spent years developing the chip itself, we are pleased to
present the _insider's view_ of how to program and use the 80386.
Throughout the book, we have strived to be accurate and authoritative,
as only the chip designers could be.
