I have the Abacus book, and don't find it to be particularly useful...
I didn't appreciate the fact that most of the code in the book requires
you to modify it (if you don't have assemPro, and I bought CAPE 68K), and
there are no instructions for modifying the code for other assemblers,
alothough they do mention the K-SEKA assembler briefly.
At any rate, "68000 Assembly Language" by Donald Krantz,and James Stanley
is an excellent reference for 68000 assembly, as far as amiga specific, 
books, none come to mind, in fact, although I already knew LOTS of assembly
when I got my amiga, I've taken to learning the ins and outs of the OS in C
to avoid figuring it out in assembly, there are really *NO* good references
to interfacing your assembly programs with the Amiga's OS that I know of,
which is sad because its keeping me from developing faster applications ( I 
don't have the time or the will power to keep crashing the machine until
something works !)
