I picked up "Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book for the IBM PC (Software
Version)" from Waldenbooks for around $40.00 or so.  You'll need a copy of
Microsoft Assembler (or suitable program) to finish.  I found it useful.

I also use his programmer's guide to the IBM PC & PS/2.  It's not good as a
tutorial though like the first one...
