Comer's new book is entitled "Internetworking With TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture", to be published by Prentice-Hall. It's not published yet. Another series of books that may be useful is "Handbook of Computer-Communications Standards". There are three volumes published separately by MacMillan. As far as I know, only the first volume is actually in print. The others are "Real Soon Now". Volume 1: The OSI Model and OSI-Related Standards Volume 2: Local Networks Standards Volume 3: The Department of Defense (DoD) Standards The author/editor of these three volumes is William Stallings. [I am told that the (take a deep breath) Library of Computer and Information Science Book Club (whew!) will be offering these 3 books both together and separately in their February mailing. I joined this club some years ago and have gotten some very good books from it cheaper than retail (even if you add in shipping). This book club is run by MacMillan. If you're interested, let me know, because I can get freebies (and so can you) when you join. This was not meant to be a commercial, but just to tell you how to get good books without paying an arm & leg.] Stallings also has written (among other books) "Data and Computer Communications", also published by MacMillan. The 2nd edition has just hit the streets, so don't buy the 1st edition unless you want/have to. This book is considered by MacMillan to be a college text rather than a "commercial" book, so try college book stores first. MacMillan will not let individuals order this book, only bookstores. A source in Chicago is IIT. Hope this informations helps those looking for TCP/IP books. Does anyone have a list of other books that might be of interest?

These books appeared in the December mailing for response by January 31, 1988 (at least in Canada). The first volume is a "selection" and the others are optional. -- Peter Marshall, Data Comm.

Dr. Hedrick has written an introduction to TCP-IP which is perfect for the beginner. The documentation is located on INTERNET host TOPAZ.RUTGERS.EDU [128.6.4.194] located in pub/tcp-ip-docs. In that same directory is a group of relavent RFCs such as RFC 791. -- Eliot Lear [lear@rutgers.edu]

There have been a couple of books about TCP/IP announced recently. I have been asked by some support people at my site which one would be a good one to read. I have not read any of the new ones. Please give me your impressions of the available books. A pointer to a book review would be also appreciated. Reply to me. I will summarize to the net.
