I know, I've got both the 'iAPX 286 Programmer's Reference Manual'
and the '80386 Programmer's Reference Manual' on my shelf.

I don't have the 8088 book though - which I used in 1982.

The old books are a lot easier to read if, for instance,
you are trying to work out how to back and forth to real mode
to do bios calls.
