We used this book in our college assembly language class. (If you have trouble finding this book, get it at a junior college bookstore.) I found it very useful, but might be difficult for a person who hasn't programmed in assembly language before. (For the rank beginner, Robert Lafore's Assembly Language Primer for the IBM PC and XT, circa 1984, is very easy reading - find it at a library, it may be out of print now.) Runnion's book has information on 32-bit instructions, as well as BCD (big integer) algorithms. The appendices give the syntax for most of the Intel x86 instructions (16-bit as well as 32-bit). Nothing on Windows programming though - all examples run in a DOS window.
