Sparc Architecture, Assembly Language Programming, and C by Richard Paul.
Not a great guide IMHO but about the best out there from a beginning
perspective.

SPARC Assembly Language Handbook (or something similar) by Sun.  This
isn't the arch manual but instead was published in '87 or so to help
developers because accustomed to SPARC "quirks" (such as delay slots).

UltraSparc-II Reference Manual (downloadable from Sun I believe).  Huge
implementation-specific book that goes into detail on pipelining, design
decisions, etc.

There are also VIS specific guides on Sun's site, as well as some demos by
the "VIS-kids".  :)
