College textbook but still works pretty well at teaching

While an obvious college (junior/senior) level text book for comp sci majors, it still works fairly well at teaching the subject. Author tends to get ahead of the topic at times (introduces the assembler in Ch 4, uses 32bit 80386 opcodes in same chapter), but flow of info is pretty well organinzed. Code specimens have some unfortunate errors, but all were correctable and worked. Odd point: publisher doesn't seem to know about this book, and can't find the companion disk to sell if you find a copy of this book in a used book store. But the book has listings for all but one of the programs, and listings for all the code segments, and the missing proggie can be written from its description once the book is finished. Over-all: book sits between a popular books on x86 programming and college type tomes on the subject. You can certainly buy worse, though Abel's book might be a better (and less pricey) choice.

A very handy book falls a bit short.

A well build book in general it's comprehensible but not fully thought out considering the multitude of programmers is multifarious. Also a bit dear
