That book seems quite highly recommended but I remember glancing through it and even the US edition had lots of seemingly random but consistent capitalisation errors in the code examples, like someone had autocorrect/autoformat turned on throughout, which IMHO is enough to make me not recommend it --- it's already hard enough for a beginner to use correct code, nevermind code with such errors.

It worked well for my goal of satisfying the prereqs of Knuth that the reader is expected to have written a few programs already, which I presume means writing in an assembly language. Another book that could be used instead is 'Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware Software Interface (RISC-V Edition)' and MIT has lectures for it on youtube https://6004.mit.edu/web/spring19/resources/lectures should anybody else want to learn.
