Book on Assembly

What would you like to see in a book on assembly language?
What would you consider to be obsolete information?
What do you feel is necessary information for a modern programmer
learning assembly?

These are the questions I've asked myself when designing my book on x86
assembly language. I want it to be complete for a beginner to assembly,
but not so complete as to be overwhelming. As such, I've avoided
extensions such as MMX and SSE, as well as floating-point for the time
being.

If you had a say in what goes into the next book on assembly language,
what would you ask for? What would you ask to be excluded? How would
you answer the above questions?
