MASM is the Microsoft Macro Assembler
a tool written by microsoft to aide in the process of writing assembly language programs
several versions have existed, some going all the way back to early versions of DOS

Masm32 is, for the most part, a library package created by Hutch (et al)
it is intended to get you started writing assembly language programs for windows 32 operating systems
it includes all sorts of stuff, not the least of which is the include files needed to write ASM code for 32-bit windows
these include files have windows API function prototypes, constant and structure definitions, and so on

Masm32 also incudes this forum :biggrin:

the masm32 package has a lot of the documentation you will need
just look in the masm32\help folder :t

as far as i know, there is no hard-copy book associated with the library package

Probably with difficulty, it was published in 1991 with MASM 6.1 so you are better off using the PDF you mentioned. Most of it is old MS-DOS technology so you are not missing much.
