Is this book black?  I'm just asking because two of my friends had really good 
books about the 80286 while I had -- well, a reasonable book about 8086 and 
that short one.

Anyway, I trusted your words and ordered "The 80386/387 Architecture" from 
ABEbooks.com.  It's only 12$, so no big deal.  Oh yes, handling and shipping 
adds ~8$, delivery will take 1-2 months. :-/

Bye,
