There are ten volumes and more than 50 books (called fascicles) in the Blue
Book set; the ones relevant to X.400 are:

	Fascicle II.6	F.400-F.422, F.500	$17.00	(Services)
	Fascicle VII.5	T.65-T.101, T.150-T.390	  ?	(Telematic IPMS)
	Fascicle VIII.4	X.200-X.219		$49.90	(ASN.1, RTS)
	Fascicle VIII.5	X.220-X.290		$54.60	(RTS, ROSE, ACSE)
	Fascicle VIII.7	X.400-X.420		$68.70	(MHS and IPMS)
	Fascicle VIII.8 X.500-X.521		$14.10	(Directory Services)

	United Nations Bookshop
	General Assembly Building

Call for current prices before you order. They accept personal checks, money
orders, and VISA or MC; no purchase orders.

Obviously the most important is VIII.7, although you can't do anything without
VIII.4 and VIII.5. I don't have VII.5, and don't know if it is necessary.

It's about 10% cheaper from the U.N. Bookshop, previously mentioned.

i just bought a pile of isdn ccitt blue books from the from the u.n. bookstore
since i had trouble scanning (for hypertextualization) burned versions i had
accumulated over the years. comparing the omnicom pricelist against the u.n.
bookstore pricelist for the x.400/mhs set, it looks like the u.n. bookstore
price is about 40 % cheaper than omnicomm. the pricelists which i am quoting
from are relatively current. i recall receiving the omnicomm pricelist with
brochures in a nice folder about two months ago, and the date on the fax i
received from the u.n. says feb 26, 1991.
