The Best Reference I've Read On Assembly Language
The best reference manual is one that's filled with examples, not only dry text. This one does that. It's helped me many times in my job as independent contract programmer. I bought this book for myself and use it on every assignment.

A well-written introduction to S/370 assembler language
McQuillen and Prince's "MVS Assembler Language" has a clear sense of direction and is well written. It provides a good introduction to S/370 assembler language for the uninitiated. However, advanced students may find that it falls short from a technical point-of-view; it fails to mention the system 370 PSW, privileged opcodes, interrupt mechanism or the channel subsystem. I wish they had covered reentrant programming techniques. Coding for reentrancy in assembler language is a pervasive discipline, and really belongs at an introductory level. Consider this book if you have been charged with responsibility for maintaining someone else's assembler language code and you haven't a clue where to begin. But if you plan to do development (and especially systems programming), then this book will only take you so far.
