Let's put this thread to rest now.

I think that should be easy - just stop responding to people on this thread.

OK. I'm not responding now.

"When a third party merchant sells through Amazon, Amazon accepts their return policy."
Good lord that is absolutely false. It could not be more false.
"I have seen a few cases where the seller refuses any and all returns, and Amazon still allowed them to sell on their website."
Those sellers will lose any A-z claims regarding refused returns.
Why would you think that I, a nine-year Amazon seller who's moved over 500,000 orders, don't know what I'm talking about?
Just file an A-z claim and get your money back.

Amazon's requirements regarding return policies are described by a seller on the seller forums here:
link
"Sellers have to have a policy at least as favorable as Amazon’s own return policy. Your policy can vary in that it can be MORE lenient than Amazon’s, but it cannot be LESS lenient. There may be a handful of very lucrative sellers who have specifically been granted permission from Amazon to have their own return policies, but those are very few and very far between, having likely been given the ability to actually edit the return information on their Amazon storefront."
Your seller is not one of those "few and very far between" sellers.
Your subject line is "Are there any honest booksellers left?" The way to help ensure that honest booksellers thrive is to hold sellers like yours accountable. One way to do that is by filing an A-z claim when you receive something that is not what you ordered, and the seller does not treat you properly (such as, in your case, expecting that you, not HE, will pay return shipping). If you want to make the marketplace better, use Amazon's resolution mechanism, the A-z claim, to force sellers to comply with Amazon's rules.

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]. 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.

Unfortunately the new 8th edition is now available as eText:
https://www.vitalsource.com/educators/products/assembly-language-for-x86-processors-kip-r-irvine-v9780135381793?term=9780135381793
only with a (LOOSE-LEAF) Print if requested
Actually you can use the previous 7th paper-book, even a used one:
https://www.pearson.com/us/higher-education/product/Irvine-Assembly-Language-for-x-86-Processors-7th-Edition/9780133769401.html
much cheaper and easy to get, because almost all chapter contents are the same. The major change to 8th is just the interactive functionality in questions, links, videos, etc. online that you don't need to care.
For code downloading text samples and its library, simply go www.asmirvine.com,
where you can click the links "Getting started with MASM and Visual Studio 2019" and "Debugging tools" etc. to start
Good luck!

If Amazon refuses to assist, file a complaint with the FTC against both Amazon and the bookseller.

I think I started back in 2008, but I could be wrong. That's the oldest file in there for me, at least.

I wonder if they'll publish some that didn't make it into the newspapers because they would offend some readers. The PreHistory of the Far Side[^] contains several of these. Perhaps my favorite is one dog speaking to another while holding up a glass jar: "The vet let me keep them. They're my testicles."

Haven't read anything about that. But there will be new stuff.

With 1215 different emoticons, I spend a lot of time searching through the indexes, trying to find the one that maches the image, and I can see the explanation of what the reader intended to convey.
For the first ten years or so of smileys, there were so few of them that I managed to keep up with their meaning. Nowadays, it would probably be easier to learn Chinese pictographs. Sure enough: You can get a rough idea; you know if the writer is happy, sad or ashamed. But why did he give me a  instead of a or maybe a or  ? What did he mean when answering with a  ? (Well, that one I can guess when I add it to to my own text - that is easier that guessing from the image, which might as well be taken as "I'm on a sunny vacation".)
So I generally interpret emoticons as "Some emotion attached here - let's not waste time on the details". In other words: I do not value them very highly.

A fascinating example of this issue is that the laughing smiley 😂 is being used by some as a crying smiley - To morbid effect.
