One of the better 68000 programming books

In my early teens, when looking around for a good 68000 assembly language book I found this to be the best of all the books I looked at. The style of writing makes this a very readable tome (relative to most data books you see on machine languages). The first few chapters of the book describe the processor architecture, addressing modes, and instruction set quite clearly. Unlike the dry data manuals you you often get from processor manufacturers, the authors spend the rest of the book describing coding techniques on the 68000 by using the building of a full-screen text editor as an example project. The last few chapters describe the I/O interfaces, bit-mapped graphics, data management and debugging. The appendices have a complete code listing for the text editor, math routines, instruction format summary and execution times. At the time I had been writing 6502 code and this book made moving to the more advanced 68000 (wow, you mean we have multiply instructions!) very easy.
