It's a bit funny (at least for me) because I was talking about DECNET as
OSI standard and TCP/IP and OSI differences some days ago to the group of
students of a course on network operation that I am teaching.
On the other hand I don't that book about networking. I'd like to get one
copy bit I live in Spain. Shipment is not a problem but perhaps to deal
with shipping procedures abroad is not what you have in mind :-)

This book taught me as much about navigating bureaucracy and the warning
signs of impending death-by-committee as it did about networking. I
keep a copy on my shelf at the office and annoy my staff with it
regularly. It's also a wonderful time capsule that provides a lot of
context about how we got where we are.
