Here it is

	J K Iliffe: Basic Machine Principles
	Macdonald/Elsevier Computer Monographs
	Aylesbury, 1968

Sigh! and to think I bought it 1969.

Yes, it contains some good discussions of addressing principles.
However, I still think Bell & Newell's 'Computer Structures' -
the old 1971 edition - has the best analysis of the key issues.
