Silly word you have to use in a UII kind of want to buy it, just for posterity's sake.

Are there any honest booksellers left?Did you buy the Hardcover or the paperback version? I run into this kind of thing all the time when getting books like these, you are not alone, friend. You either get the more expensive US version, or the reprint knockoff international version that Amazon will sell you for $800 but every other seller for less than $60. I just checked, because I ordered it last year, and Amazon does sell the Hardcover for $149.32 (+ taxes) [[Link](https://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Language-x86-Processors-7th-dp-0133769402/dp/0133769402/ref=mt\_hardcover?\_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=)]. It should have the access code intact, and not be too banged up. At least, mine did. Unless they did not have them when you bought it and only just stocked it. And to answer your question about honest sellers, yes, there are some still hanging around. Recently bought from (within last two years) for programming related books: 1. Amazon Services, Inc. (Ironic, I know. But I have not been totally disappointed) 2. Thriftbooks | 3. Heritage Books |- Used books mostly (all, probably). Less likely to carry programming books 4. Jensen Books Inc | I have not gotten anything I did not intend to receive from these sellers.

Why use .NET technologies vs., say, Node?What is all this nonsense about Node and C#? You mean to tell me you did not write your back-end in the one true language of LISP? Hark, thy hast done wrong! Repent, my child! Seek thee of that which hast the ever loving and gentle embrace! :java: Ah, that is better. Well, gentlemen, ladies, now that I have been refreshed, let us have a civilized and quaint discussion. I expect you all here at 4 sharp for tea. In all seriousness, I have heard that .NET Core is superior to Node as of now. Though, I have nothing to back that up with. Personally, I would stick with something that I was familiar with and not do a rewrite into different languages. But, I would also listen to what they say, if they can make a good case for the switch, and provide ample amount of data to back them up, then perhaps it could be an option to consider. Might want to prepare a defensive case for your side of things on that path.
