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.
