By Peter Norton and John Socha
Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book For the IBM PC
Novice
Good for an introduction to Assembly Language.  Plenty of programming
examples.  Older versions of this book used to have a sample disk.  As
you read the book, you slowly add on code to what eventually is Disk
Patch - the book's version of Norton's commercially available Disk Edit
program.   Great for complete beginners seeking novice rank.

Maljugin, Izrailevich, Sopin, and Lavin
The Revolutionary Guide to Assembly Language
Novice
This is one of the best introductory texts I have ever seen.  There are
so many authors that the topic is broken down into specific categories:
video, BIOS, keyboard, etc..  Most intro texts force you to follow a set
plan of learning assembly, but in this book you can turn to a specific
t0pic almost immediately.  It is so-so as a reference book, however - a
few tables of interrupts in the back.

Master Class Assembly Language
Advanced
Review: This is the sequel to The Revolutionary Guide To Assembly
Language.  Equally thick and massive, it covers many of the topics we
see today - hardware interfaces, sound cards, data compression, even
protected mode programming.  Brief review of assembly at the beginning,
but moves very quickly.  Read this if you are intermediate seeking
expert status.  Definitely not recommended for beginners.  If you are a
beginner and you think you like the topics covered in this book, buy the
one before it too.  Also comes with a disk of source code examples from
the book (MASM highly recommended, not TASM).

This book's best feature is its comprehensive guide on device drivers.
There are good chapters on controlling the mouse, file access, using
memory, etc.
