Atypically, 32 bit versus 64 bit is usually only of concern when using prebuilt 
binary packages, or in other words binary executables.  (Aside from such 
specifics such as capability of using larger data types when programming for 64 
bit; Using 64 bit registers, etc...)

So, if I'm not mistaken, the PGU book will work on 32/64 bit platforms, or 
platforms providing Intel registers, so long as you have a working compiler.  
(Correct me if I'm wrong here.)

Even though the book is getting old, I have yet to hear or see anything 
equivelant.  It does contain a few bugs, but a keen eye will likely catch them 
when tracing the code line for line.  (Or, I think the bugs are posted to the 
author's site.)  A very good short read!
