These aren't specific to x86 or any particular architecture -- just
computer arch in general. I find them to helpful/interesting:

http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Machine-Introduction-Microprocessors-Architecture/dp/1593271042
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201633388/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are more academic books, but I think the above provide an
interesting introduction. If you are looking for more practical books
about a particular architecture those exist as well. However, there's
nothing (that I know of) that encompasses the expanse that is
historical x86 systems.
