I used the Struble book also, at La Tech in the '70's (probably '75 or so).  Mine is of the second printing in 1971 and has a 1969 copyright and it is still on my bookshelf.  It is based on the 360; the transition from 360 to 370 was easy in those days..   The price stamped on the title page is $11.95 -- La Tech Bookstore Cashier #4.  I think I got my money's worth from it.

The course I took in 370 assembler out of the Struble book made learning COBOL 
At my 1st job (a paying internship) a trivial matter. Never looked back. I 
haven't counted the languages I've had occasion to use (or many  I guess modify 
existing code in) in the last 42ish years.

I credit the Assembler course with the reason I've had a job all this time. And 
I've told the professor so. And, yes, I very rarely write it any more, but it's 
been handy at times.
