No. That's a pretty good book. As the title suggests, the
presentation is "bottom up." For example, he does not get
into interfacing with C libraries until nearly half way through
the book.

In my book, I start with C code. For example, I use C programs
to illustrate binary number storage formats, etc. So I take a
more "top down" approach. My thought was to start with what
the student already knows -- programming in a higher-level
language. In addition, my book is intended for classroom use,
so I have quite a few exercises.

I have not published my book on the open market yet. I was
hoping to find a publisher, but assembly language does
not have a very big market. So far, we have had the book
printed on campus for our students.

Meanwhile, publish on demand places have come to be.
I am cleaning up some technical issues so that I can
publish my book through www.lulu.com. Hopefully, that
can happen within the next couple of months. I also need
to decide how to price it.
