Do I need lot of C++ when I'm writing my own OS?
I borrow C++ book. i already know basic things in C++ but I guess that wont be enough.

I did not find assemby book in library but I start with C++ and then star assembly if I find good book...

One, you don't need a "C++ Editor" or a "Assembler Editor". All you need is a decent text editor, and which one's the "best" is very much a matter of religion.

And, quite seriously, if you aren't a long-time C++ coder to begin with, you should use C as your OS development language of choice. Writing an OS kernel in C++ involves quite some trickery of its own, which is usually not considered worth the hassle unless you feel strongly about C++.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

(Don't we have that somewhere in the FAQ? If not, we should!)

I e-mailed Jef Duntemann about Assembly Language Step by Step, but he said that, being monolingual himself (like myself and far too many other otherwise educated Americans), he wasn't certain what languages it had been translated into, except for two that had stuck in his mind: Polish and Croatian. Unfortunately, the Wiley & Sons Europe site doesn't seem to have a list of translations, either.
