The Cat is Out of the Bag

Well, Amazon has posted a preliminary (pre-order) ad for it, so I may as well announce it:

The Art of 64-Bit Assembly Language is coming soon!
(Amazon claims August 31; that usually means late Sept/early October).

The book has gone through two-and-a-half sets of editing thus far: initial editing, technical review, and it’s about ⅔ of the way through a final edit phase now (I just returned chapter 10 of 16 to No Starch). Once the final editing (copy editing) is done, it goes to layout. There will be two passes on that (one pass with individual chapters in PDF form, one pass with the whole book in PDF form) and then it’s off to the printers. Based on my past experience, Sept/Oct looks very good.

Next week I’m supposed to start getting PDF proofs for the individual chapters. That probably means that No Starch will put the book into their “early access program” within a month or two.

In any case, the new support web page is now active. You can check it out at https://artofasm.randallhyde.com/
It used to point at the 32-bit stuff, now it’s been hijacked for The Art of 64-bit Assembly Language.
