   Oops, I got the book name wrong. It's "Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book   
   for the IBM PC". 1986 By Peter Norton and John Socha, ISBN 0-13-661901-0   
   A Brady publication.   
   A good place to look is Library book sales. Without knowing what kind of   
   machine   
   you have, answers are tough. Good Luck
