Reading the architecture books with a nice cup of tea.

A slightly less steep approach might be to get yourself the programmer
manuals of some older powerpc chips, like the freescale PEMs, and then
move on to the full ISA

Assuming you have a powerpc compiler available you can use the -S
option to produce assembly listings.

With gcc add -fverbose-asm for more info.

For a general background, look at something much simpler than ppc,
even if you don't write/run any code.
