What are some good books for OS design and implementation? (I would be good if I got some that's based in assembly)

This ^: Operating Systems: Design and Implementation by Andrew Tanenbaum and Albert Woodhull. It also contains the entire source of Minix.
You'll probably never find something like that in assembly though. No one programs an OS in assembly. Only some of us mad people.

At least one book seems to be missing from the list, which is
Operating systems: Internals and design principles. The author is William Stallings.

Thank you guys alot.
"Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by Andrew Tanenbaum and Albert Woodhull sounds very promising, since it contains both design and code details.
