[mod.protocols.tcp-ip] TCP/IP cookbook?

Does anybody know of a good book on the nitty-gritty of implementing TCP/IP?
(If there's an obvious choice, sorry about that, I'm a relative newcomer to
this stuff.)  I'm not after history and philosophy, which I gather is the
main thrust of Padlipsky's book (which I haven't had a chance to read yet),
and I want something deeper than a ten-page paper.  I'm aware of the Protocol
Handbook, and have it on order, but my impression is that it's more of a
collection of standards than a unified discussion.  I have Comer's book
"Internetworking with XINU", but it leaves too many things out (and worse,
doesn't tell you that it's doing so).  Suggestions?

Henry,

there isn't a book of the type you desire, so far as I know. 

there is an opportunity for some author out there...
