My favorite one is:

The Motorola MC68020 and MC68030 Microprocessors
Assembly langauge, interfacing, and design
Harman L. Thomas,
Prentice-Hall International, Inc., 1989

It's not a Mac book, but it does a very good job at explaining what
the heck is going on in that little black box of a processor. A few
topics it covers: native data types, addressing modes, data transfer,
program control, arithmetic and logic operations, processor states and
modes, system control instructions, exception-handling, chaching,
coprocessor protocol, MC68881, differences of the MC68851 and the internal
memory management of the MC68030, and interfacing peripheral chips.

This is your book if you need to know everything about about anything :-)
