I recently asked this same question in comp.dsp.  I know of two
sources.  The audio engineering society has reprints available
for $15.00 of the ANSI spec.  This seems like too much money, so I am
planning on looking in the engineering library at a nearby school.
The other source is a (probably cheaper) Sams book.

If anyone wants to send me (FAX, FAX G3 bitmap file, US Mail, etc.) a copy
of this info, who am I to complain?
