During all the years of discussions regarding finding information about the PE format, and during all my own searching efforts for it in the past, I cannot recall ever seeing any mention about the following official PE format specification document from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/download/hardware/pecoff.pdf
It is 77 pages stuffed with detailed information of very high quality about the PE format. I don't think I ever saw a document of equal quality regarding the PE file format (not really sensational since it is after all the official specification, but anyway
).
Even though it is dated 1999, I doubt that it has been publicly available all the way since then, due to the lack of widespread knowledge of its existence.
Anyway, I recommend any reverser with self respect to download and study it.
