If you subscribe to DDJ, you get their standard set of junk mail, err, I mean
programmer information.  Eventually, you'll get somthing called the 
Programmer's Power Pack.  This is a set of index-like cards which various
advertisers use.  Well, on one of the cards, it advertised the re-publishing
of the Abrash _Zen of Assembly Language Programming_.  So, I believe it is
back in print.  Also, the _Assembly Language From Square One_ is also being
re-printed.  Since I already have the Zen book, I threw away my cards, so
that's the only info I have. 

For hard-to-get books, you might want to try inter-library loan.  I have
found the _Power Graphics Programming_ book by Abrash in this way.  My
mom and I have used this, and have *never* failed to find a book that we
were looking for.  Granted, you don't own it, but you can at least get a
a copy of the book for a while to look at.
