The canonical textbook is Ralph Gorin's _Introduction to DECSYSTEM-20
Assembly Language Programming_ (Digital Press, 1981).  Lots of examples,
well thought out presentation.

It's a shame that Ralph's book has become so rare.  (Seriously, who
does the seller asking $1,441.25 for a copy think he's talking to???)
Probably remaindered in the 1990s at any library that had a copy.

If you were near Seattle, I'd say make an appointment and I'd give you
an afternoon's worth of overview.
