"My flat-out favorite book of 2003 was Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language."
"You would be hard-pressed to find a better book on assembly out there."
"This is a large book that is comprehensive and detailed. The author and publishers have done a remarkable job of packing so much in without making the explanatory text too terse. If you want to use assembly language, or add it to your list of programming skills, this is the book to have."
"Allows the reader to focus on what's really important, writing programs without hitting the proverbial brick wall that dooms many who attempt to learn assembly language to failure. . . . Topics are discussed in detail and no stone is left unturned."
"The text is well authored and easy to understand. The tutorials are thoroughly explained, and the example code segments are superbly commented."
"This big book is a very complete treatment [of assembly language]."
