Looking for some books about MASM programming's technique.

Hi, everybody.
My friend asked me about MASM programming's technique recently, and I became aware of my barebones technique.
I think that I need read some books about MASM programming's technique, who can provide me some suggestions?

MASM v6.x Manuals on-line in HTML format
MASM v6.11 Reference in PDF format
MASM v6.11 Reference in MS Word format
MASM Programmer's Guide in MS Word format

Thanks!
Can I buy some "real" books about the matter?

hyperon,

The general assumption " that there IS a book" is in itself ill informed. Most assembler books are out of date junk. Get the PIV manuals, API reference and wade through the mountain of example code and you have hit the best available. Do not make the assumption that anyone has bothered to write introductory level modern 32 bit assembler as there is almost nothing available in that market.

Te basics are that you need to know enough about Windows programming to write API code and it helps a lot if you at least know the very basics of assembler programming. I have always tried to be direct and honest with potential assembler newbies by warning them that it is not a beginners task, it assumes enough experience in coding and architecture to understand the basics of how it works, the rest is practice.

hutch--, thanks!

First, I need explain "technique" above, because it were misunderstood. I think it as a method which assists me in using MASM to code shorter, more efficient, more powerful codes, so I look for some books about these techniques. Does there exist "real" books that discuss the matter?

its the same problem of looking for books that don't exist. The Intel manuals have an optimisation manual which is good value if you understand enough of the architecture to read it and as they are in PDF format, you can print them on paper if you desperately need to.
